Other claims from this paper (14)
- Intervention effect Micronutrient treatments did not influence wheat grain yield at most field locations.
- Intervention effect F-CT increased grain yield at one location in Pakistan.
- Intervention effect Foliar Zn significantly increased grain Zn concentration.
- Intervention effect Foliar I significantly increased grain I concentration.
- Intervention effect Foliar Se significantly increased grain Se concentration.
- Intervention effect Combined foliar micronutrients enhanced grain Zn, I and Se almost as effectively as individual applications.
- Intervention effect Combined foliar micronutrients caused a slight reduction in grain yield.
- Intervention effect Foliar Zn enhanced grain Fe.
- Intervention effect Foliar Zn+I enhanced grain Fe.
- Intervention effect F-CT enhanced grain Fe.
- Observation High-Zn genotypes had a minor grain yield penalty versus the local cultivar in India.
- Observation High-Zn genotypes did not exceed the local cultivar in grain yield in Pakistan.
- Intervention effect Foliar Zn spray added more than 15 mg kg −1 grain Zn in Zn-biofortified genotypes.
- Recommendation The authors recommend combining fertilization with breeding to maximize crop micronutrients.
