ABSTRACT
A field experiment was conducted to study the effect of FYM, biofertilizers and zinc levels on availability of zinc, copper, iron and manganese in soil at different periods under maize crop during kharif season of 2006 and 2007 at Instructional Farm, Rajasthan College of Agriculture, MPUAT, Udaipur. Application of FYM and biofertilizers failed to improve the status of available micronutrient cation in soil at earlier days, while at later stages application of FYM and biofertilizers significantly improved availability of them in soil. Application of zinc levels significantly increased Zn content and decreased Fe content of soil at different stages of maize crop growth and after harvesting of maize.
Key words :
Biofertilizers, Copper, FYM, Iron, Maize, Manganese, Zinc.
