Effect of Zinc and Foliar Application of Silicon on Growth and Yield of Maize (Zea mays L.)

The field experiment was attended all along Zaid season of 2022 at Crop Research Farm, Department of Agronomy, Naini Agricultural Institute, Sam Higginbottom University of Agriculture, Technology and Sciences, Prayagraj (U.P) India. To study the effect of Zinc and foliar request of silicon on progress and yield of maize. The situation amount to the 3 levels of Zinc (5,10,15 kg/ha) and three levels of Silicon (200,350,500 ppm) as a foliar spray are contained individually. The experiment was spent money in Randomized Block Design accompanying 10 situations and copied thrice. The results demonstrated that Zn 15kg/ha + Si 500ppm (Treatment -9) plant climax (187.78cm), No. of leaves per plant (12.0) plant dry burden (181.62 g/plant), No. of cobs/plant (1.63/plant), Length of the person who produces crops/plant (15.43 cm), No. of rows/outdo a performance (14.82), No. of grains/cob (317.54), children yield (7.92 t/ha) and Stover yield (11.34 t/ha), test pressure (241.96 g).
