Other claims from this paper (10)
- Intervention effect Low zinc sulphide doses significantly enhanced plant height, root length, fresh and dry weight, and leaf width in AS-5277.
- Intervention effect Low zinc sulphide doses significantly enhanced plant height, root length, fresh and dry weight, and leaf width in 30-K08.
- Observation AS-5277 showed greater growth improvements than 30-K08 at low zinc sulphide doses.
- Intervention effect Low zinc sulphide doses increased chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b, and carotenoids, with a peak at T3.
- Intervention effect High zinc sulphide doses decreased chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b, and carotenoids.
- Intervention effect Low zinc sulphide doses increased flavonoid, sugar, and phenol contents.
- Observation AS-5277 showed more pronounced increases in biochemical contents than 30-K08.
- Intervention effect High zinc sulphide doses inhibited maize growth.
- Intervention effect High zinc sulphide doses lowered maize biochemical contents.
- Recommendation The authors recommend optimizing zinc sulphide rates to support maize growth and biochemical activity while limiting toxicity.
