To evaluate the effect of potassium, zinc and boron on wheat productivity, the present investigation was undertaken at the experimental farm of Department of Soil Science, College of Agriculture, CSKHPKV, Palampur. The experiment comprised of sixteen treatments with four levels of K (0,50,100 andl50% of recommended dose), two levels of Zn (0 and 101^ ha ‘) and two levels of B (0 and 1 kg ha-1) in factorial randomized block design. Application of K @ 50,100 and 150 % of recommended dose increased plant height, dry matter accumulation, total and effective tillers per metre row length, grains per ear and test weight significantly. Application of Zn (10 kg ha-1) and B (1 kg ha-1) influenced the growth and yield attributes of wheat significantly. Highest grain (42.52q ha ‘) and straw (66.80q ha ‘) yield of wheat was recorded under 150 % of recommended dose of potassium. Application of 150 % of recommended dose of K increased grain and straw yield by 44 and 47 % over no K, respectively. Application of Zn (10 kg ha-1) increased grain and straw yield by 11 and 10 % over no Zn, respectively. The increase in grain and straw yield with the application of B (1 kg ha-1) was 5.6 and 6.3 %, respectively.Keywords

Highest grain (42.52q ha-1) and straw (66.80 q ha-1) yield of wheat was recorded under 150 per cent of recommended dose of wheat. Application of 150 per cent of recommended dose of K increased grain and straw yield by 43.7 and 46.9 per cent over no K, respectively. Application of Zn (10 kg ha-1) increased grain and straw yield by 10.9 and 9.8 per cent over no Zn, respectively. The increase in grain and straw yield with the application of B (1 kg ha-1) was 5.6 and 6.3 per cent, respectively. Application of K increased K, Zn and B contents significantly at maximum tillering and harvesting. Application of Zn increased Zn and B contents significantly at both the stages. However, B increased the contents of Zn and B only at maximum tillering stage and at harvesting (grain and straw). Almost similar effects of K, Zn and B application on total nutrient uptake were observed. Application of Zn increased partial factor productivity, physiological efficiency, agronomic efficiency and apparent recovery. Boron application increased partial factor productivity and apparent recovery only.Keywords

This study was undertaken in an on-going long-term fertilizer experiment, initiated during 1972-73 at Experimental Farm of Department of Soil Science, CSK HPKV Palampur to work out the relationship of soil health parameters with quality of maize in an acid Alfisol. The soil of the experimental site was silt loam and classified taxonomically as Typic Hapludalf. The experiment consisted of eleven treatments with varying levels of NPK fertilizers, and FYM & lime as amendments. Continuous application of fertilizers and amendments for forty-six years significantly influenced the yield of maize. The highest grain (46.5 q ha-1) and stover yield of maize (77.0 q ha-1) was recorded in the 100 per cent NPK + FYM treatment and was at par with 100 per cent NPK + lime. Continuous omission of S and K decreased the grain yield by 55 and 53 per cent, respectively, whereas regular application of N alone resulted in zero yield. Soil health parameters and grain quality traits were assessed and the relationship between soil health parameters and quality traits of maize grains was worked out. Correlation studies revealed that soil organic carbon exhibited a positive and significant relationship with non- reducing sugar (r = 0.737**). Similar positive relationship was found between porosity and non-reducing sugars (r =0.940**). There was a positive and significant relationship between dehydrogenase activity and reducing sugars (r = 0.866**). Invariably, bulk density exhibited negative and significant relationship with different quality traits of maize grains.Keywords
