The response of pigeon pea to various modes of zinc application was studied through a field experiment consisting combinations of different modes of zinc application viz., two levels of zinc (2.5 and 5.0 kg Zn/ha), two levels of FYM (0, and 5.0 t FYM/ha) and two foliar spray of 0.5% ZnSO4 (at flower and pod initiation stage) for two consecutive years (2013-15). The grain yield, uptake of nutrients, and zinc use efficiency was studied at the harvest of pigeon pea. The results revealed that the grain yield and zinc use efficiency varied 7-25% and 0.8-6.6% higher among different modes of zinc applications over no zinc application. Similarly, the N and K uptake was found 15-50% and 27-34% higher among various applications of zinc modes as compared to control. The P uptake was found lower in the treatments having higher dose of zinc application. The application of 5.0 kg Zn/ha along with 5 t FYM/ha and/or 0.5% foliar spray of ZnSO4 found significantly superior for higher yield and nutrient uptake in pigeon pea whereas, the application of 2.5 kg Zn/ha along with 5 t FYM/ha and 0.5% foliar spray of ZnSO4 showed highest zinc use efficiency in pigeon pea.
