Among them, potash and zinc play important role to maximize the yield potential in monetary terms. Every possible nutrient management practices are implemented by using the chemical fertilizers to reach at peak production level but they have some negative impact on soil, product quality and environment. Recently, potash and zinc have been used as a sustainable practice which is able to boost up the production, productivity and quality of the product as well as without causing any negative hazardous effect on crop and environment.
