Abstract
A field trial was conducted to determine the impact of Zinc on wheat crop during 2004-2005. Seven Zinc levels were evaluated including a control in RCBD i.e. 0 2.5 5 7.5 10 12.5 and 15.0 kg ha-1. The results revealed that soil application of Zn had significant effect on all th growth and grain yield contributing parameters of wheat. The highest Zn level of 15.0 kg ha-1 produced significantly greater values for plant height 93.26 cm number of tillers 13.86 per plant spike length12.33 cm number of grains 62.2 per spike seed index 39.27 g and grain yield 4966.67 kg ha-1. The treatments supplied with 12.50 Zn ha-1 produced plant height of 93.00 cm number of tillers 12.40 per plant spike length 12.26 cm number of grains 59.0 per spike seed index 39.65 g and grain yield of 4660.0 kg ha-1. Wheat crop received 10.0 kg Zn kg ha-1 gave plant height of 92.93 cm number of tillers 11.86 per plant spike length 12.13 cm number of grains 58.80 per spike seed index 39.03 g and grain yield of 4653.33 kg ha-1. The values for entire growth and grain yield contributing characters were minimum in control plots where Zn was not applied. The situation suggested that the soil under experiment was deficient in Zn and after its soil application seed yield per hectare increased remarkably. This implies that the Zn application in wheat fields is necessary to improve the Zn content in soil in order to harvest an improved grain yield of wheat.
