Abstract (2. Language): 
Green gram (Vigna radiata L.) is an imperative legume crop in Asia. Zinc (Zn) deficiency is a yield-limiting factor for a variety of field crops across the world. To increase zinc concentration in edible portions of food crops, foliar application of zinc containing solutions might be sustainable. Drought stress during the critical stages of crop growth is also the major factor which leads to the lower productivity of green gram. So, the present work was conducted to evaluate the influence of foliar application of zinc and PPFM (Pink Pigmented Facultative Methylotrophs) along with fertilizers on growth, yield parameters and quality of green gram. The experiment was consisted of soil application of different levels of RDF (Recommended dose of fertilizers) along with the foliar application of Zn and PPFM. The results revealed that various treatments increased growth and yield parameters like plant height, number of pods per plant, number of seeds per pod and quality of green gram. Application of 0.5% ZnSO4 and 1%PPFM with 125% RDF both at flowering and Pod initiation stages gave higher number of pods per plant, number of seeds per pod, and grain yield and also improved the quality of grains by increasing protein content as compared to control. Thus, we conclude that the combined application of 125% RDF along with the foliar application of 0.5% ZnSO4 and 1% PPFM improves the growth, yield parameters and quality in green gram crop.
