Afield experiment was conducted at Agronomy farm, S.K.N. College of Agriculture, Jobner (Rajasthan) during kharif, 2011 on loamy sand soil. The twenty treatment combinations consisting of 5 varieties (RG 510, RG 382, Girnar 2, HNG 10 and TG 37A) and 4 levels of zinc (0, 2.5, 5 and 7.5 kg Zn ha−1) were tested in randomized block design with three replications. Results showed that the uptake of N, P, K and Zn and oil yield in kernel were significantly higher in variety Girnar 2. Results further indicated that N and P contents in kernel, N, P and Zn uptake and oil yield in kernel significantly increased with increasing levels of applied Zn up to 5 kg/ha., Zn and protein contents were significantly increased with 5 kg Zn/ha over control. Significantly higher pod yield, haulm yield, were obtained with variety Girnar 2.
