Abstract
A field experiments were conducted at Oil Seed Research Farm, Kalyanpur and
laboratory experiment was carried out in the Department of Seed Science and technology
of CSAUAT, Kanpur during Rabi seasons of 2021-22. The objective of assessment’s was
to study the “Effect of micronutrients and curd foliar spray on growth, yield and
quality parameters of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)” with different doses on plant
traits viz. T0: Control, T1: Zn (0.5%), T2: B (0.2%), T3: KNO3 (2.5%), T4: Zn+B (0.5%+0.2%), T5: Zn+
KNO3 (0.5%+2.5%), T6: B+KNO3 (0.2%+2.5%), T7: Zn+B+KNO3 (0.5%+0.2%+2.5%), T8: Curd of Cow
(5kg ha-1) and T9: Curd of Buffalo (5 kg ha-1) under drought and irrigated conditions. Each ten
chemical treatments were applied as foliar spray at jointing (60-65 DAS) and booting
stage (80-85 DAS). It was designed in RBD and CRD with three replications. Standard
procedures were followed for assessment during the experimentation. The result revealed
that significantly viz. the highest Plants height(92.79cm), No. of tillers plant-1(4.50),
Length of ear (8.61), No. of spikelet’s spike-1(13.27), No. of grain ear-1 (36.52), 1000
Seed weight (45.80g), Grain yield (37.67 q ha-1), biological yield (89.26q ha-1), Harvest
index(42.20%), Seed germination (92.33%), Seedling length (26.92cm), Root length
(12.28), Seedling dry weight (.094), Seed vigour index-I (2485.52), Seed vigour index-II
(86.79), as compare to T0: Control obtained by foliar application of T8: Zn+B+KNO3
(0.5%+0.2%+2.5%). Instead of the application of T8: curd of cow (5kg ha-1) sprayed with
Plants sustainable way can enhance not only enhances the growth, vigor and quality of
seed but also inducing resistance to pests and diseases. Among the all treatments
maximum responsive was of T7: Zn+B+KNO3 (0.5%+0.2%+2.5%) in most of traits and
gave significantly was found effective in increasing the yield of wheat cv „„k-1317‟‟ in
Kanpur (U.P.) and it is strongly recommended that farmer of the central Uttar Pradesh
adopt for better growth and yield of wheat crop
