A field experiment was conducted during kharif season of 2023 at Crop Research Farm Department of Agronomy, Naini Agriculture Institute, Sam Higginbottom University of Agriculture Sciences and Technology. To determine “Influence of Nitrogen and Zinc on growth and Yield of Pearl Millet” The result revealed that treatment 9 [Nitrogen (80 Kg/ha) + Zinc (20 Kg/ha)] recorded significantly higher plant height (180.10 cm), number of Leaves (23.59) higher plant dry weight (38.30 g), higher ear head length (24.66 cm), maximum number of ear head/plant (1.75), higher Grain yield (3.81 t/ha) and higher stover yield (5.94t/ha).
