Other claims from this paper (4)
- Observation Nebraska soils were generally micronutrient sufficient and usually above critical soil and plant tissue levels.
- Intervention effect In most Nebraska scenarios, foliar micronutrient supplementation was unlikely to increase maize yield.
- Intervention effect Micronutrient supplementation may reduce maize yield in some scenarios.
- Recommendation The authors recommend models using factors beyond soil and plant micronutrient concentrations to predict maize yield responses.
