Other claims from this paper (10)
- Intervention effect Zinc increased corn forage yield on alkaline soil.
- Intervention effect Zinc did not increase corn forage yield on acid soil.
- Intervention effect Zinc fertilizers did not affect cadmium in immature corn forage.
- Intervention effect Zinc increased plant tissue zinc concentration.
- Association Both crops had lower tissue zinc on alkaline than acid soil.
- Association Cadmium uptake generally increased with cadmium content of zinc fertilizers on acid soil only.
- Observation Some chard on acid soil exceeded 2 mg kg −1 tissue cadmium.
- Intervention effect Nickel uptake by both crops generally was unaffected.
- Intervention effect Lead uptake by both crops generally was unaffected.
- Recommendation The authors judged metal uptake from these fertilizers minimal except cadmium in leafy vegetables on acid soil.
