e0“The zinc treatments as the first factor were: NPK; NPK + Zn applied before sowing; NPK + Zn applied to maize at the stage of 4th leaf”
e2“The yield of the stay-green maize depended upon the number of kernels per row, whereas the classical one on all yield structural components”

Other claims from this paper (7)
- Intervention effect Modern maize cultivars responded best to zinc applied before sowing compared with NPK alone
- Intervention effect Old maize cultivars responded best to foliar zinc at the 4th leaf stage compared with NPK alone
- Association In classical maize, grain yield depended on all yield structural components
- Recommendation Zinc management in modern cultivars should maximise the number of kernels per row
- Recommendation Zinc management in old cultivars should optimise yield with a simultaneous kernel weight increase
- Intervention effect Zinc applied before sowing had a positive effect on dry matter translocation from vegetative tissues to kernels
- Association The yield-forming response of maize to zinc application depends on its timing
