A field experiment was conducted during the rainy (kharif) season of 2015 at Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh, to assess the effect of phenophase-based nitrogen and zinc scheduling on yield, and zinc content of direct-seeded rice (Oryza sativa L.). The experiment was laid out in a factorial randomized block design with 3 replications, having 3 nitrogen levels (N, 0 kg N/ha; N, 120 kg N/ha (50% at sowing + 25% at G + 25% at GReferences
