Abstract
In crop production, the importance of Zn was realized due to raising its deficiency from intensified agriculture, increasing prevalence of high yielding crop varieties, multiple cropping. These factors have combined to create large gaps between the soil Zn supply and crop requirements. The zinc deficiency in the soil adversely affects crop yield and nutritional quality. Zinc levels had significantly beneficial effect on the straw / dry matter yields of the rabi crops over control in both crop seasons. The best results in linseed, lentil and cabbage were obtained at 7.5 kg Zn ha-1, in wheat at 10 kg Zn per Ha and in berseem at 5 kg Zn per Ha. Zinc uptake was highest in wheat crop. The uptake of Zn by these crops increased significantly with its addition over control in both the years.
