“…The increase in plant height might be due to better synthesis of assimilates in large photosynthetic area and optimum supply of nourishments to the meristematic tissues. According to Singh et al (1997) [26] , nitrogen is associated with synthesis of amino acid, which would have increased the meristematic activities at faster rate under fertigation and caused better growth. The pseudo stem girth was increased due to the combination of straight and water-soluble fertilizers, whereas the control and other treatments showed reduced girth of the plant.…”

The field experiment was conducted to elicit information on the yield and nutrient uptake of elephant foot yam [Amorphophallus paeoniflorins (Dennest.) Nicolson] under fertigation at orchard, Department of Vegetable Crops, TNAU, Coimbatore during the year 2012-2013. The experiment was laid out in randomized block design with three replications. The growth attributes of elephant foot yam viz., plant height, canopy spread, leaf area, and pseudo stem girth were found to be the highest in T5 receiving 75% RDF through (50 % straight fertilizers + 50% water soluble fertilizers) under fertigation. The yield attributes are corm weight, corm diameter, number of cornels, root number, root length and root diameter were also recorded highest in treatment T5 [75% RDF through (50% straight fertilizers + 50% water soluble fertilizers) followed by T4 which receives 100% RDF through (50% straight fertilizers + 50% water soluble fertilizers) under fertigation. Increased nutrient content and nutrient uptake in corms were observed in fertigation with 75% RDF through (50% straight fertilizers + 50% water soluble fertilizers) (T5) followed by fertigation with 100% RDF through (50 % straight fertilizers + 50% water soluble fertilizers) (T4). The BC ratio was found to be higher in T5 [fertigation with 75% RDF through (50% straight fertilizers + 50% water soluble fertilizers)] with 3.96.

“…Performance of the applied Znwas distinctly superior when applied in conjunction of 22 kg Pha -1 . Application of 8 kg Zn ha -1 gave16% higher yield of potato than control and 4.5% higher than foliar sprays @ 1kg ha -1 (Raghav and Singh, 2004). Foliar spray of1% ZnSO 4 to onion produced highest seed yield per plant andunit area with high germination percentage (Khalate et al, 2002), indicating the usefulness of the Zn in improving the seed health.…”

Zinc is considered as the fourth important yield limiting nutrient in India, after N, P, and K. From the regular soil analysis data, Indian soils (50%) are found to be deficient in Zn and the zinc deficiency is likely to increase in future. Areas with low soil available Zn are often regions with widespread zinc deficiency in humans. Zinc malnutrition and deficiency in human is alarming and is gaining attention in recent years. Application of zinc to soil and crops is one of the simple and easiest ways to mitigate or alleviate Zn deficiency in human. Moreover Zn uptake, its translocation and yield response of various crops to applied Zn are need to be focused for finding sustainable solutions to the problem of zinc deficiency in crops and humans. In this manuscript, importance of Zn to plants and human, Zn malnutrition problems in India and global level, soil Zn status of Karnataka, various factors that responsible for Zn deficiency in the soils of Karnataka and the response of various horticultural crops to Zn application in the region is discussed. Soil maps are believed to be an important tool to delineate and manage nutrient deficient areas. It also elaborates the effective Zn management strategies to improve crop productivity and farm income.
