Abstract:
The present investigation entitled “To assess the effect of PGRs and micro-nutrient on herbage yield and quality of produce on fodder sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L.)"A field experiment was conducted at G.P.B. Research Farm of, Acharya Narendra Deva University of Agriculture and Technology, Kumarganj, Ayodhya (U.P.) during Kharif season of 2020. The experiment was laid out in Randomized block design with twelve treatments Triacontanol 10 ppm at 30 DAS (Foliar spray), Salicylic acid 100 ppm at 30 DAS (foliar spray), 5 Kg Zn ha^-1 soil application, 2 Kg B ha^-1 soil application, 5 Kg Zn ha^-1 + 2 Kg B ha^-1 soil application, 5 Kg Zn ha^-1 soil application + Triacontanol 10 ppm at 30 DAS foliar spray, 5 Kg Zn soil application + Salicylic acid 100 ppm at 30 DAS foliar spray, 2 Kg B ha^-1 soil application + Triacontanol 10 ppm at 30 DAS foliar spray, 2 Kg B ha^-1 soil application + Salicylic acid 100 ppm at 30 DAS foliar spray, 5 Kg Zn ha^-1 + 2 Kg B ha^-1 soil application + Triacontanol 10 ppm at 30 DAS foliar spray, 5 Kg Zn ha^-1 + 2 Kg B ha^-1 soil application + Salicylic acid 100 ppm at 30 DAS foliar spray and water spray at the time of PGR application.Results revealed that Application of 5 Kg Zn ha^-1 + 2 Kg B ha^-1 soil application + Triacontanol 10 ppm at 30 DAS foliar spray fodder sorghum was found more effective to enhance the growth and herbage yield and quality attributes of fodder sorghum.
