Abstract
A total of 14 and 8 replicated field trials were conducted in Central and Barani zones of the Punjab, respectively in the year 1999-2901 in order to evaluate maize response to Iron (Fe) application. Fe was applied @ 5,10 and 15 kg Fe ha.' along with NPK 175-150-100 kg hi' in central zone and (120-90-60 kg ha4)in barani zone respectively. In central zone maize yield increased significantly at higher level of 15 kg Fe ha"' over NPK Zn. The VCR (1.6) and maximum GNR (6.0) were obtained from the fertilizer treatment NFK Zn + 15 kg Fe ha"'. In barani zone, the maize grain yield enhanced non-significantly but positively with the application of Fe at all applied levels. The maximum VCR of 2.6 and GNR of 9.2 were obtained from the treatment 5 kg Fe lid' along with NPK t Zn.
