Abstract
Agronomy Department, Farm, Sam Higginbottom University of Agriculture, Technology, and Sciences, Prayagraj (U.P.), India. To research the effects of zinc treatment on rice (Oryza sativa L.) growth and yield. The medications include the verities MTU-7029, BPT -5204, and RNR15048, as well as zinc concentrations of 0.2%, 0.3%, and 0.4%. The pH of the soil in the experimental plot was 7.8, the texture was sandy loamy, and the amount of organic carbon was low (0.35%). The larger plant height (117.68 cm), greater number of tillers per hill (16.72), Application of RNR-15048 + ZnSo4 - 0.4% significantly increased plant dry weight (55.47 g/plant), number of panicles/hill (10.01), number of grains/panicle (141.37), 1000 seed weight (22.27 gm), grain yield (6.43 t/ha), and stove yield (12.11 t/ha), obtained Yield in Experiment (6.43t/ha), percentage Increased Over Predicted Yield (55.21%).
