G.), Indira Gandhi Krishi Vishwavidyalaya, Raipur (C.G.) during kharif season 2023-24. Research entitled with Effect of zinc sulphate and nano zinc on transplanted rice (Oryza sativa L.) along with recommended dose of fertilizer (100:60:40 NPK kg ha-1). The experiment was presented in Randomized Block Design with three replications consisted of nine treatments. The results revealed that significantly higher growth and yield parameters was recorded under treatment T6 RDF + Two spray of nano zinc at 45 DAT & 75 DAT Which was significantly superior over other treatments but was at par with T9 RDF + Spray of 0.5% ZnSO4 twice at 45 DAT & 75 DAT with closely followed by the treatment T5, T4. As compare to lowest recorded under T1 RDF 100:60:40 NPK kg ha-1.
