Abstract
A field experiment was conducted during the kharif, 2018 to study the effect of Nova Aminochelated-Zinc on growth, yield and yield components of rice. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design with six treatments T1: Control, T2: Recommended Dose of Fertilizers (RDF) without Zinc, T3: T2+5 ml l-1 Nova Ami-Zinc @TI and PI, T4:T2+2.5 gm l-1 ZnSO4 @TI and PI, T5: 5 ml l-1 Nova Ami-Zinc @TI and PI, T6: 2.5 gm l-1 ZnSO4 @TI and PI. Experiment revealed that application of RDF+5ml l-1 Nova Ami-Zinc @ TI and PI (T3) resulted in maximum Number of tillers m-2, Total number of Grains Panicle-1, Number of Filled Grains Panicle-1, Test weight and Grain Yield but application of RDF+2.5 gm l-1 ZnSO4 @TI and PI showed maximum height followed by application of RDF +5 ml l-1 Nova Ami-Zinc @ TI and PI.
