- Intervention effect All soil and foliar zinc sulphate treatments raised leaf zinc concentrations above the recommended adequate level, whereas control trees stayed low.
- Intervention effect Uptake of foliar-applied zinc was more rapid than that of soil-applied zinc.
- Intervention effect All zinc sulphate treatments except 0.25% foliar spray significantly increased zinc concentration in fruit pulp compared with control trees.
- Intervention effect The percent increase in tree stem girth was highest with soil application of zinc sulphate, followed by 1.0% foliar application.
- Intervention effect No zinc sulphate treatment significantly increased yield, fruit size and weight, or pulp and stone weight.
- Intervention effect Fruit total soluble solids were significantly higher, 18.6%, with soil application of zinc sulphate than with the other treatments and control.
- Intervention effect Fruit acid and sugar content were not significantly affected by foliar or soil zinc sulphate application.
