Abstract: Data on rice crop showed that yield and yield contributing parameters were significantly affected by various nutrient combinations and sources. NPK + GM + ZnSO4 gave the best results. It was followed by NPK + FYM + ZnSO4 while without GM or FYM, Zn-chelate performed better than ZnSO4. Foliar spray of ZnSO4 was found inferior among all the sources and methods of zinc application. Grain yield of follow-up wheat crop was statistically similar in all the fertilizer combinations, however, straw yield was maximum where FYM or GM were applied in addition to ZnSO4 to the previous rice crops.
