Abstract:
A field experiment entitled “Effect of soil and foliar application of zinc sulphate and ferrous sulphate on growth and yield of sunflower (Helianthus annus L.)” was conducted during Rabi season of 2020-21 at the Experimental Farm, Department of Agronomy, College of Agriculture, Latur. The soil was clayey in texture and alkaline in reaction. The experiment was laid out in a randomized block design with ten treatments and three replications. The treatments were T1 -RDF, T2 -RDF + FYM @ 5 t ha‑1, T3 -T2 + ZnSO4 @ 20 kg ha‑1 soil application, T4 -T2 + FeSO4 @ 20 kg ha‑1 soil application, T5 -T2 + ZnSO4 @ 0.5% foliar spray, T6 -T2 + FeSO4 @ 0.5 % foliar spray, T7 -T2 + FeSO4 @ 20 kg ha‑1+ ZnSO4 @ 20 kg ha‑1 soil application, T8 -T2 + FeSO4 + ZnSO4 @ 0.5% foliar spray, T9 -T2 + ZnSO4 @ 20 kg ha-1 soil application+ FeSO4 @ 0.5% foliar spray and T10 -T2 + FeSO4 @ 20 kg ha‑1 soil application + ZnSO4 @ 0.5% foliar spray. The gross and net plot size was 5.4 m x 4.5 m and 4.2 m x 3.9 m, respectively.

The treatments were T1 -RDF, T2 -RDF + FYM @ 5 t ha‑1, T3 -T2 + ZnSO4 @ 20 kg ha‑1 soil application, T4 -T2 + FeSO4 @ 20 kg ha‑1 soil application, T5 -T2 + ZnSO4 @ 0.5% foliar spray, T6 -T2 + FeSO4 @ 0.5 % foliar spray, T7 -T2 + FeSO4 @ 20 kg ha‑1+ ZnSO4 @ 20 kg ha‑1 soil application, T8 -T2 + FeSO4 + ZnSO4 @ 0.5% foliar spray, T9 -T2 + ZnSO4 @ 20 kg ha-1 soil application+ FeSO4 @ 0.5% foliar spray and T10 -T2 + FeSO4 @ 20 kg ha‑1 soil application + ZnSO4 @ 0.5% foliar spray. The gross and net plot size was 5.4 m x 4.5 m and 4.2 m x 3.9 m, respectively.
The result revealed that the application of RDF + FYM @ 5 t ha-1 + ZnSO4 @ 20 kg ha-1 soil application and of FeSO4 @ 0.5 % foliar spray (T9) recorded higher growth attributes, yield attributes, seed yield (1768 kg ha-1) and stalk yield (3499 kg ha-1) of sunflower. It was followed by the application of T2 + ZnSO4 @ 20 kg ha-1 + FeSO4 @ 20 kg ha-1 soil application (T7) and T2 + FeSO4 @ 20 kg ha-1 soil application and of ZnSO4 @ 0.5 % foliar spray (T10) and significantly superior over rest of the treatments.
