Abstract: Zinc deficiency is not only the cause of low productivity of crops, but it also results in low zinc content in seeds, which leads to poor dietary zinc intake. To study the effect of zinc foliar application on improving plant yield and seed zinc content for human consumption, chickpea plants were raised in refined sand culture with deficient (0.2 µM) and sufficient (1µM) supply of zinc under glass-house conditions. Prior to initiation of the reproductive phase, zinc was applied as 0.1% ZnSO 4 foliar spray to bo… Show more

“…The increase in seed yield with phosphorus and ZnSO 4 application was due to (i) increase in source capacity like plant height, number of branches plant -1 and number of leaves plant -1 as well as sink capacity like, number of pods plant -1 , number of seeds pod -1 and test weight (ii) better utilization of photosynthates towards sink due to increase in translocation from source to sink. The result is in conformity with the finding of Singh et al, (2014), Ganga et al, (2014), Pathak et al, (2012), Singh and anubhuti (2011), Kuttimani and Velayutham, (2011) and Singh et al, (2009).…”

“…Findings on the effect of Zn fertilization on plant growth and yield are mixed. Grain yield has increased with the application of Zn through foliar spraying (Pathak et al, 2012), soil application (Kaya et al, 2009) and seed priming (Harris et al, 2008), in chickpea. On the other hand, Johnson et al (2005) did not find grain yield response neither from Zn seed priming nor from soil fertilization with Zn in chickpea and lentil.…”

“…Much of the research on crop responses to foliar fertilization was done on soybean (Glycine max L.), wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) (Fageria et al, 2009) and rice (Oryza sativa L.) (Guo et al, 2016) with only limited studies on chickpea. Foliar Zn application increased grain and straw Zn concentration in chickpea (Pathak et al, 2012). Soil Zn application also had positive effect on grain Zn concentration (Kaya et al, 2009), and grain and shoot Zn contents in chickpea (Shivay et al, 2014).…”
