Summer green manure and zinc boost Basmati rice growth and yield.
The researchers studied how using certain plants and zinc fertilizer can help Basmati rice grow better. They found that planting Sesbania aculeata (Dhaincha) and using EDTA-chelated Zn fertilizer led to increased growth and higher yields of Basmati rice. These methods improved the rice's growth and development, making it more productive. By combining green manure and zinc fertilizer, farmers can help Basmati rice grow better and produce more grains.
