An field experiment was conducted at the Main Agricultural Research Station, University of Agricultural Sciences, Dharwad, to find out the influence of method of micronutrient application on growth and seed yield parameters of fodder maize during kharif 2013 and 2014. Experiment consisted of nine treatmentsand it was laid out in randomized block design with three replications.The results revealed that soil application of Zinc sulphate @ 25 kg ha-1and foliar application of 0.2 % borax had shown thehighest plant height at harvest (285.54 cm),the least number of days to 50 per cent tasseling,silkingand maturity (64.83, 71.17& 117),cob weight (170.49 g), cob length (19.82 cm), cob girth (16.71 cm), number of seed rows per a cob (13.80), number of seeds (36.17), seed weight per plant (122.38 g), seed yield (32.57 q/ha) and shelling per cent (71.78 %) followed by soil application of Zinc sulphate @ 25 kg ha-1 + foliar application of Zinc sulphate @ 0.5% as compared to control in pooled data as well as in individual year of experimentation.
