Abstract
The present investigation was undertaken to study the effect
of soil application of Zn and Fe besides their scheduled foliar
application at different growth stages with the perspective of
biofortification of wheat (variety GW 496) grain with Zn and Fe on
Typic Ustochrept soils of Anand. The field experiment was taken with
sixteen treatments, eight each for Zn and Fe and was replicated
thrice under randomized block design. The mode of Zn and Fe
application was of three types viz. soil (25 kg ZnSO4 and 50 kg
FeSO4 ha-1, respectively), foliar (0.5% ZnSO4 and 1.0% FeSO4,
correspondingly) and soil+foliar (20 kg ZnSO4 ha-1 + two foliar
