Other claims from this paper (13)
- Association Soil DTPA-Zn correlated positively with total Zn, total P, Olsen-P and ammonia-N.
- Association Aboveground wheat Zn concentration correlated negatively with soil pH and Olsen-P.
- Observation Aboveground wheat total Zn accumulation varied greatly among soil treatments.
- Association Aboveground wheat Zn accumulation correlated positively with soil DTPA-Zn, aboveground Zn concentration, biomass and root weight.
- Mechanism The PLS-PM model suggested direct effects of soil Zn supply and plant growth on wheat Zn utilization.
- Intervention effect Zinc application increased wheat grain yield under low soil salinity.
- Intervention effect Zinc application increased wheat grain Zn concentration under low soil salinity.
- Intervention effect Zinc application under higher soil salinity did not increase wheat grain Zn concentration.
- Intervention effect Soil zinc application increased grain yield in 20 wheat genotypes.
- Intervention effect Soil zinc application increased grain Zn concentration in 20 wheat genotypes.
- Intervention effect Foliar zinc application further increased mean wheat grain Zn concentration.
- Intervention effect Foliar zinc application did not further increase wheat grain yield.
- Recommendation The authors recommend tailoring zinc supply to soil properties and suitable wheat genotypes for biofortification and yield.
