Effects of micronutrient on yield and uptake by summer pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum L.)
Author(s): VH Kadivala, VP Ramani and PK Patel
Abstract: A field experiment was conducted on loamy sand soil having low Fe and Mn status at Main Forage Research Station, AAU, Anand, during summer season of the year 2017 for studying effects of multi-micronutrients mixture in improving production of summer pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum L.) (GHB-558). The higher grain yield was obtained with the 1% foliar spray of multi-micronutrient mixture grade-III (for Fe deficiency) having concentration of Fe-6.0%, Mn-1.0%, Zn-4.0%, Cu-0.3% and B-0.5% at 15, 30 and 45 DAT (Days after Transplanting). While straw and total yield was higher under the soil application of micronutrients of 50 kg FeSO4.5H2O ha-1 and 40 kg MnSO4.3H2O ha-1 as per STV (Soil Test Value). Micronutrient supplementation through 1.0% foliar application of multi-micronutrient mixture and soil application through grade-V as well as Soil Test Value (STV) was also found beneficial in increasing micronutrients concentration in different plant parts and their uptake by summer pearl millet.
