Impact of Foliar Application of Micronutrient on Yield Production and Micronutrient uptake by Rice

Abstract

The high production target levels with intensive cropping system and the use of concentrated high grade fertilizers have resulted in the deficiencies of macronutrients in Indian soil. During the last decades the foliar application of micronutrient has become an established procedure in cropping to increase yield (Subbiah and Mittra, 2007) and quality of crop products (Sakal and Singh, 2011). Hence, the present study was undertaken to find out the foliar application of micronutrients on the yield and uptake of nutrient by rice.
