Abstract

Effect .of Zn application frequency was studied in rice (Oryza sativa L.)-wheat (Triticum aestivum L. emend. Fiori & Paol.) cropping system in a field experiment conducted during 1989-92 at Kaul. The Zn @ 5 kgtha when applied to rice every year proved most economical and resulted in higher yields of both rice and wheat.
