An experiment "Effect of different concentration of nitrogen and zinc on the growth of pecan nut seedlings" was carried out at Agricultural Research Institute, Tarnab, Peshawar in 2001. Four different concentrations of nitrogen (0, 1.25, 2.5) and zinc (0, 0.12, 0.25 and 0.5%) were used. The Experiment was laid out as randomized complete block design with two factors. The foliar sprays of nitrogen (N) and Zinc (Zn) were done on 1st June and 1st July 2001. Significantly maximum seedling height (48.04 cm), seedling diameter (0.79 cm), number of leaves per plant (21.6), leaf area (99.19 cm2) and biomass weight (56.35g) were recorded when seedlings were sprayed with 5% N and minimum in control. The seedlings sprayed with 0.25% Zinc gave maximum seedling height (46.14 cm), number of leaves per plant (19.25), leaf area (86.52 cm2) and biomass weight (53.25g).
