Abstract

A pot experiment was carried out using an alluvial soil to study the effect of foliar Zn-application as ZnSo4 and ZnEDTA at levels of 0,5 and 10 ppm Zn on dry matter yield and both Zn-content and Zn-uptake by different parts of bean plants grown in soil fertilized with NPK and /or FYM. The results show that the highest values of dry matter yield and either Zn-content or 2n-uptake by different parts of bean plants were re­alized by 10 ppm Zn-foliar application with farmyard manure treatment.
