        abstract = {Zinc is one of the micronutrients that is essential for plants' proper growth and development. The study examined the impact of zinc fertilizer on rice variety ADT-43 at Annamalai University's Experimental Farm in Tamil Nadu, India, in order to ascertain the impact of varying zinc levels on rice growth and output. During the kuruvai season (June–September 2023), this study examined the impact of several zinc sources on the growth and yield of transplanted rice. Each of the ten treatments used varying amounts of zinc fertilizers. Randomized block design (RBD) was used in the design of the field trial, and three separate trials of the treatments were conducted. The experiment revealed that grain and straw yield was significantly enhanced on addition of different zinc, inorganics and their combinations over control. The highest grain and straw yield were obtained with combined application of 100% RDF + Soil application of Zn-EDTA @ 5kg ha-1 + Foliar spray of nano Zn @ 0.2%. The addition of 100% RDF + Soil application of Zn-EDTA @ 5kg ha-1 + Foliar spray of nano Zn @ 0.2% resulted in significant increase in higher value for yield attributes (number of panicles m-2, number of filled grains panicle-1, panicle length). Based on the study, revealed Zinc and inorganic fertilization were found to be effective materials for increasing soil fertility and crop productivity.},
