Abstract: The experiment was conducted on experimental site of Wheat and Maize Research Unit, VNMKV, Parbhani during kharif season 2016-17. The soil was medium black with moderate moisture retention capacity. The land having uniform topography was used to study the responses of micronutrient’s (Mg, Zn and B) to crop hybrid (Phule Madhu) under irrigated condition, by using soil and foliar application of (Mg, Zn and B) micronutrients in presence of RDF @ 120:60:50 NPK kg/ha. The experiment was laid out in RBD with three replication and ten treatments. The biometric observations and the yield parameters green cob weight with husk / without husk at harvest (kg/plot), cob length (cm), cob girth (cm), green cob sweetness (brix reading %) and cob yield (qt/ha) at harvest. The maximum cob yield was recorded by treatment T7 (436.80 q ha-1) with the application of 120:60:50 kg NPK/ha and spraying of Mg+ Zn+ B @ 1% at 30 and 45 DAS) (41.93 kg plot-1 and 436.80 q ha-1) which was at par with treatment T8 (RDF+ Foliar application of Mg @ 1% at 30 & 45 DAS) (36.42 kg plot-1 and 379.39 q ha -1) and significantly superior over rest of treatments.
