ABSTRACT
A field experiment was conducted during 2010-12 at College of Agriculture, J.N. Krishi Vishwa Vidyalaya, Jabalpur, Madhya Pradesh to study the effect of levels of FYM (0, 2.5, 5.0 and 10 t ha-1) and Zn (0, 2.5 5.0 and 10 kg ha-1) on yield, Zn content and uptake by maize (Zea mays L. ) and their residual effect on wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) in a Vertisol. The application of FYM @ 5 and 10 t ha-1 and Zn @ 5 and 10 kg ha-1 in maize and their residual effect on wheat significantly increased the yield, Zn content of grain and stover/straw and Zn uptake by maize and wheat and available Zn after maize and wheat over control respectively.
Key words :
Content, FYM, Maize, Uptake, Wheat, Yield attributes, Zinc content & uptake.
