Abstract

The investigations were made to study the effect of Zn on yield attributes and yield of aromatic rice with three treatments of zinc viz 0, 25 and 50 kg ZnSO4/ha and 4 aromatic rice genotypes viz Chittimutyalu, Sumathi, Sugandha Samba and RNR-2354. The experiment was laid out in randomized block design with factorial concept and replicated thrice. The results of the experiment showed that basal application of Zn at 50 kg ZnSO4/ha and among the genotypes Sugandha Samba and RNR-2354 recorded highest grain yield.
