Other claims from this paper (8)
- Intervention effect Zinc fertilization treatments significantly increased growth, yield and nutritional attributes of maize compared with the unfertilized control.
- Association Grain Zn and protein concentrations in maize were correlated.
- Observation Maize grain Zn concentration ranged from 22.3 to 41.9 mg kg−1.
- Observation Maize grain protein concentration ranged from 9 to 12 %.
- Intervention effect Zinc fertilization significantly reduced grain phytate in maize compared with the control.
- Intervention effect Broadcasting and subsurface banding combined with foliar spray decreased the grain [phytate]:[Zn] ratio in maize to 28 and 21.
- Intervention effect Broadcasting and subsurface banding combined with foliar spray increased Zn bioavailability in maize to 2.04 to 2.40.
- Recommendation Broadcasting and subsurface banding combined with foliar spray is suitable for optimal maize yield and agronomic Zn biofortification of maize grain.
