Abstract:
A field experiment conducted during summer season of the year 2019 on medium black calcareous soil at Junagadh. Total ten treatment combinations, consisting of soil and foliar application of 0.2% ZnSO₄ and + 1.0% FeSO₄ and recommended dose of fertilizer with three replications. The results indicated that macro nutrients (NPK) significantly higher when crop was fertilized with 100% RDF + foliar application of 0.2% ZnSO₄ + 1.0% FeSO₄ at 30 and 45 DAS (T₇), Same treatment recorded higher micronutrients content (Fe, Mn, Zn, B). From the above experimentation it can be concluded that application of zinc and iron significantly influenced the nutrients content in soil under summer fodder maize.
