Abstract
The field experiment was conducted at two different locations viz., Regional Research Station and College Agronomy farm, Anand Agricultural University, Anand (Gujarat) during kharif season of the years 2016 and 2017 to study the “Mobilization of iron and zinc through bio consortium and its effect on growth and yield of maize (Zea mays L.)”. The soils of both locations were marginal in available Fe and medium in Zinc. The treatments comprise of different levels of iron and zinc with or without bio consortium. The experiment was laid out in a Randomized Block Design with four replications. The observations on growth, yield attributes and yield as well as contents of nutrients and their uptake, soil properties and beneficial microbial count at initial and after harvest of the maize were determined.
