A field experiment was conducted to study the effect of rates and methods of zinc application in rice under flood prone condition. There was significant increase in the yield and yield attributes of rice crop upto 45 kg ZnSO4/ha. The content and uptake of zinc was also increased significantly with increasing levels of zinc sulphate. Soil applied Zn was superior as compared to its foliar application. Soil application of 45 kg ZnSO4/ha was found to be the best which recorded the highest net monetary return Rs. 8111 ha 1 with BCR 1.63.
