Abstract: A field experiment was conducted during rabi, 2015-16 and 2016-17 at ICAR-Indian Institute of Rice Research, Rajendranagar, Hyderabad to study the effect of ZnO nanoparticles foliar application on yield and zinc uptake in rice under different establishment methods. The experiment was laid out in split plot design with two establishment methods (direct seeding through hand dibbling under puddled condition and normal transplanting) in main plots and six nutrient management practices (Absolute control-no fertilizer, control-RDF NPK, RDF + soil application of ZnSO4.7H2O @ 25 kg ha-1, RDF + two foliar sprays of ZnSO4.7H2O @ 0.5%, RDF + two foliar sprays of nano ZnO @ 1000 ppm and RDF + two foliar sprays of nano ZnO @ 1500 ppm) in sub-plots with four replications. The results revealed that direct seeded rice recorded significantly higher grain and straw yield and total zinc uptake as compared to normal transplanting. Among nutrient management practices, RDF + two foliar sprays of nano ZnO @ 1000 ppm and RDF + two foliar sprays of nano ZnO @ 1500 ppm being on par with each other recorded significantly higher grain and straw yield and total zinc uptake compared to other nutrient management practices.
