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 cropEnglishEffect of micronutrients and curd foliar spray on growth, yield and quality parameters of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)Thesis
