Application ef nitrogenous fertilizers to soils b a traditional method in vogue. However, fcrtiliziag a crop through follage to supply major nutrient need is therecent innovation in this respect. For this purpose, concentrated types of fertilizert are uceful since larger doses can be given with lesser volume for sprays. Urea is used for supplying nitrogen. In foreign countries various aspect8 of this mode of fertilizer application are studled both in horticultural and fleld crops. Comparative studies of soil application of nitrogen with foliar sprays have been reported by Frote and Batchelder (1953) in barly; Reeves (1954) in wheet; Anma el, al. (1954) in wheat and barley; Sadaphal (1957) in wheat and Vcnkatethwaralu (1959) in paddy. However, in our country, ther........
