Abstract
A field experiment was conducted during rabi season of 2003-04 to study the response of wheat to zinc and iron fertilization under varying levels of phosphorus. The results indicated that application of ZnS04 @ 10 kg ha-1 along with 100 per cent P205 of recommended dose recorded significantly higher number of effective tillers m-1 row length (112.0), number of grains spike-1 (47.33), thousand-grain weight (35.60 g), grain yield (39.25 q/ha) and straw yield(58.34q/ha) as compared to rest of the treatments.
