Abstract: An experiment was performed to evaluate the impact of zinc sulfate by examining survival rate, growth attributes, and biochemical parameters under the submerged and non-submerged conditions to enhance submergence tolerance in Sub1 and non-Sub1 rice varieties. A fully randomized block design was followed with three treatments, three replications, and five chosen rice varieties centered on submergence resistance and susceptibility. Sowing seed s directly with the treatments comprises viz. T1: 0.0 mg ZnSO4 per kg of soil, T2: 5.0 mg ZnSO4 per kg, T3: 10 mg ZnSO4 per kg of soil. Treatments were performed in both submerged and non-submerged (controlled) pots at sowing. After 30 days of sowing, fifteen days of full sub mergence. It follows that zinc sulfate @10 mg/kg soil greatly improved survival percentage, growth qualities, and biochemical parameters of Sub1 and nonSub1 rice varieties even after 15 days of total submergence.
