Abstract:
Field trials were conducted in medium-dark calcareous soil in Junagadh in summer 2019. A total of 10 application combinations, including soil and foliar application of 0.2% ZnSO₄ and +1.0% FeSO₄ and the recommended fertilizer, were repeated three times. The results showed a significant improvement in yield and yield in crops treated with 100% RDF + 0.2% ZnSO₄ + 1.0% FeSO₄ foliar spray at 30 and 45 DAS (T₇). From the above experiments, it can be seen that the application of zinc and iron affects the yield and economic value of summer feed corn. Maize fertilization rates of 100:60:40 kg NPK ha-1 and foliar sprays of 0.2% ZnSO4 and 1.0% FeSO₄ (T₇) at 30 and 45 DAS (T₇) were found to give significant results and pay back for medicinal improvements.
