poor fertility status of the soils. Earlier research have shown that SAT soils are critically deficient in&#13;
Zn, B and S in addition to N and P (Sahrawat et al., 2008; Wani et. al. 2009). For a sustainable&#13;
increase in productivity and enhancing the resilience in rainfed systems, the issues related to soil&#13;
fertility needs to be addressed. The objective of this communication is to show as to how balanced&#13;
nutrition involving Zn, B and S can be used to enhance crop productivity on sustainable basis in the&#13;
semi‐arid regions of India....</mods:abstract><mods:classification authority="lcc">Agriculture-Farming, Production, Technology, Economics</mods:classification><mods:classification authority="lcc">Fertilizer Applications</mods:classification><mods:originInfo><mods:dateIssued encoding="iso8061">2011</mods:dateIssued></mods:originInfo><mods:genre>Conference or Workshop Item</mods:genre></mods:mods>
