Other claims from this paper (7)
- Intervention effect Soil application of Zn enhanced soil DTPA-Zn and total Zn content of soil compared with the control in the tomato-french bean-cucumber sequence.
- Intervention effect Soil application of Zn enhanced fruit and dry matter yields compared with the control in the tomato-french bean-cucumber sequence.
- Intervention effect Zn application beyond 10 kg ha-1 did not significantly improve yield in the tomato-french bean-cucumber sequence.
- Intervention effect Soil Zn application increased Zn concentration and uptake compared with the control in the tomato-french bean-cucumber sequence.
- Intervention effect Foliar Zn spray did not significantly change yield or Zn uptake in the tomato-french bean-cucumber sequence.
- Mechanism Exchangeable Zn and Zn associated with easily reducible Mn fractions of soil largely contributed to soil Zn availability and uptake in the tomato sequence.
- Recommendation Need-based soil Zn application can be avoided when soil DTPA-Zn reaches 1.5 mg kg-1, because no yield response was found beyond this level.
