Other claims from this paper (8)
- Intervention effect ZnO increased wheat grain zinc concentration by 58%.
- Intervention effect ZnSO 4 increased wheat grain zinc concentration by 30%.
- Observation ZnSO 4 and ZnO gave a flour phytate to zinc ratio below 8.
- Observation Granular zinc treatments gave a flour phytate to zinc ratio above 10.
- Intervention effect ZnO produced greater zinc concentration in whole grain, bran, and aboveground biomass than ZnSO 4.
- Intervention effect Co-additives did not improve soil zinc extractability.
- Intervention effect Co-additives did not improve wheat zinc uptake.
- Recommendation The authors recommend multiyear and multilocation field work to confirm the greenhouse results.
