The field experiments were conducted at the agriculture farm of BFIT Crop Research Centre, Dehradun, Uttarakhand, during 2021–22 on the title- “Analysis of the consequences of a mixture of micronutrients on the parameters associated with wheat growth and yield”. A RBD (Randomized Block Design) of plot with eight treatments and three replications was used in this study. The experimental treatments included: T_{1 -} Control (without fertilizer or any other growth activity), T_{2 -} RDF (NPK) only, T_{3 -} RDF (NPK) + Local Formulation(LF) Grade V 10kg/ha mixture of micronutrient on Soil Application (SA) only, T_{4 -} RDF (NPK) + Local Formulation (LF) GradeV 10kg/ha mixture of micronutrient on Soil Application (SA)  + 0.25% FS of micronutrient mixture @ tillering stage only,T_{5 -} RDF(NPK) + Local Formulation (LF) Grade V 15kg/ha mixture of micronutrient on Soil Application (SA) only,T_{6 -} RDF(NPK) + Local Formulation (LF) Grade V 15kg/ha mixture of micronutrient on Soil Application (SA)  + 0.25 % FS @ tillering stages only, T_{7 -} RDF (NPK) + Local Formulation(LF) GradeV 25kg/ha mixture of micronutrient on Soil Application (SA) only, T_{8 -} RDF (NPK) + Local Formulation (LF) Grade V 25kg/ha mixture of micronutrient 0.25% Foliar Spray (FS) of micronutrient mixture @ tillering stage only. Significant 0.5% increases in spike length, spikelets/spike, spike/m², number of tillers/m2, number of grains/spike, 1000-grain weight, grain, straw, and biological yields (ton)/fed were noted in the study's results. Additionally, the harvest index was found to be significantly higher in T₈ only. The highest grain yield was achieved by T₈ while lower yield of growth attributes / parameters was found in the control plot.
