Abstract:
The study employed a randomised block design, with four replications comprising six treatments, namely: Application of liquid zinc 39.5% by foliar spraying at 250, 500, and 750 millilitres per hectare; combination of basal zinc sulphate application at 10 kg per hectare + foliar zinc application at 750 millilitres per hectare; and untreated control. The experimental site's soil composition was clay loam, with low levels of nitrogen (196 kg ha^-1) and medium levels of phosphorus (20.9 kg ha^-1) and potassium (385.39 kg ha^-1). It also had low levels of zinc (0.89 ppm), normal pH (7.6), and EC (1.503 dSm^-1). MTU 1010 rice was utilised as the test crop.
