The experiment was laid out in a Randomized Block Design with four replications. The treatment was comprised of T1-control, foliar spray treatments: T2-multi-micronutrient mixture grade-I (general), T3-multi-micronutrient mixture grade-II (for Zn deficiency), T4-multimicronutrient mixture grade-III (for Fe deficiency), T5-multi-micronutrient mixture grade-IV (for Zn & Fe deficiency) and soil application treatments: T6-multimicronutrient mixture grade-V and T7-soil application of micronutrients as per soil test value (STV). The rate of application of different grades for foliar spray was kept 1%. The foliar application was made during crop growth period with three sprays at 15, 30 and 45 DAT (Days after Transplanting) of the crop and the soil application of grade-V was 20 kg ha-1 as basal. The treatments were tested against the standard recommended application of micronutrients (50 kg FeSO4.5H2O ha-1 and 40 kg MnSO4.3H2O ha-1) on soil test value i.e. STV basis and control as well. The soil used for the experiment was alkaline in reaction with low in available N and high in available P2O5 and K2O. With respect to DTPA-micronutrients, Fe and Mn was deficient, while Zn and Cu were sufficient in status.en-USnullThesis
