Effect of the uptake of N, P, K, Fe, Zn and B by rice (Oryza sativa L.)

Abstract

The present investigation entitled “Effect of the uptake of N, P, K, Fe, Zn and B by rice (Oryza sativa L.)” was carried out during Kharif season of year 2019 at Agronomy Research Farm, Acharya Narendra Deva University of Agriculture and Technology (Narendra Nagar) Kumarganj, Ayodhya (U.P.). The field experiment included 9 treatments in Randomized Block Design with nine treatments. Total uptake of nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and boron by the rice achieved with the application of 100% RDF(150-60-40 kg ha-1 NPK) – Inorganic fertilizer + foliar spray of boron (0.1%) before panicle initiation while more uptake of zinc and ferrous was observed with the 100% RDF + foliar spray of zinc (0.5%) and 100% RDF + foliar spray of ferrous (1.0%), respectively.
