Abstract

A study was performed at the Agriculture Research Institute, Tarnab, Peshawar, during 2022. The experiment comprised with following treatments; T1=untreated, T2=1% foliar with ZnSO4, T3=1% priming with ZnSO4, T4=15 kg ha-1 Zn soil application, T5=1% foliar with ZnSO4+1% priming with ZnSO4+15 kg ha-1 Zn soil application. Using a randomized complete block design with three replications. Results revealed that maximum plant height (97.00 cm) productive tillers m-2 (366.33), spikes m-2 (356.00), grain spike-1 (58.00), thousand seed weight (52.00 g), biological yield (10097 kg ha-1) and grain yield (4357.0 kg ha-1) were recorded in plot treated with 1% foliar with ZnSO4+1% priming with ZnSO4+15 kg ha-1 while minimum plant height (83.33 cm) productive tillers m-2 (279.67), spikes m-2 (260.00), grain spike-1 (47.00), thousand seed weight (43.00 g), biological yield (7751 kg ha-1) and grain yield (3817.3 kg ha-1) were recorded in control plot. Conclusion of this study is application of 1% foliar with ZnSO4+1% priming with ZnSO4+15 kg ha-1 in soil performed better in yield so it is recommended for general cultivation.
