Paper Summary

Zinc is crucial for plant growth, but many Indian soils lack it. A 47-year study at ICAR-IARI in New Delhi looked at different fertilizers' effects on wheat. They found that using NPK with added zinc or farmyard manure produced the best wheat yields and zinc uptake, making it a good choice for healthy crops.
