Effect of Micronutrients on Protein Content and Productivity of Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)

A field experiment was conducted at experimental farm of Bilwa in Bareilly, during the winter season (Rabi) of 2004–2005 to study the effect of micronutrients (ZnSO₄, FeSO₄ and MnSO₄) on protein content and productivity of wheat (Triticum aestivum PBW-343) crop. Micronutrients treatments were given as basal application (ZnSO₄–25Kg/ha, FeSO₄– 25Kg/ha and MnSO₄–10Kg/ha) and foliar application (ZnSO₄–5Kg/ha, FeSO₄–5Kg/ha and MnSO₄–5Kg/ha). The application of micronutrients increased protein content and grain yield and basal application was better than foliar application.
