Abstract:
The experiment was conduct during rabi session 2022 at Agriculture research farm IES University, Bhopal (M.P.). The experiment was laid out in randomized block Design with 07 treatments and 3 replication. The soil of the experiment field was medium black fairly deep having a slight slope from west to east, which provides good drainage. To access the initial fertility status of the soil of experimental field. The result is significantly. Plant population/m² It is evident from the facts; Maximum number of plants viz. (38.25 /m²) was recorded in application of RDF 100% +soil application of ZnSO₄ – 20 kg/ha which was found significantly superior to control. The maximum plant height viz. (46.00) was recorded in application of RDF 100% +soil application of ZnSO₄ – 20 kg/ha. Number of Branches plant^-1 the data indicated that the maximum number of branches plant^-1viz. (8.56) were recorded with the application of RDF 100% +soil application of ZnSO₄ 20 kg/ha. Dry weight plant^-1(g) the maximum dry weight plant^-1 (12.11) was found in application of RDF 100%+seed treatment with 0.05% ZnSO₄ solution.
