Abstract
The present investigation was undertaken to study the “Effect of chelated zinc and iron application on growth, yield and chemical composition of Pearl millet in middle Gujarat conditions” during kharif 2016, at Agronomy Farm, B. A. College of Agriculture, Anand Agricultural University, Anand. The soil of experimental plot was loamy sand in texture, low in organic carbon and available nitrogen, high in available phosphorus and potassium, DTPA extractable iron and zinc medium in available status. Pearlmillet variety GHB 558 was used as test crop. Total 10 treatments were included in the present investigation comprised of Zn and Fe fertilizers application through ZnSO4 (25 kg ha-1) and FeSO4 (50 kg ha-1) as well as chelated forms of Zn and Fe (0, 0.5, 1.0 and 1.5 kg ha-1). The experiment was laid out in a randomized block design with four repetitions. The ten treatments were comprising of T1 - Zn0Fe0, T2 - Zn0Fe50, T3 - Zn0.5Fe50, T4 - Zn1.0Fe50, T5 - Zn1.5Fe50, T6 - Zn25Fe0, T7 - Zn25Fe0.5, T8 - Zn25Fe1.0, T9 - Zn25Fe1.5, T10 - Zn25Fe50.
