Other claims from this paper (15)
- Intervention effect Foliar Zn increased grain Zn concentration by 84%.
- Intervention effect Foliar Zn+N increased grain Zn concentration by 83%.
- Intervention effect Foliar Zn+P increased grain Zn concentration by 55%.
- Observation After foliar application, Zn concentration was greater in leaves than glume or stem.
- Intervention effect Zn and Zn+P foliar treatments showed similar reductions in Zn content and its distribution in grain and leaves.
- Mechanism The authors infer that adding P reduced Zn absorption in vegetative tissues.
- Mechanism The authors infer that P did not inhibit Zn translocation from leaf to grain.
- Intervention effect Foliar Zn+N significantly increased grain protein.
- Intervention effect Foliar Zn+N significantly increased Fe.
- Intervention effect Foliar Zn+N significantly increased Ca concentrations.
- Intervention effect Foliar Zn+P significantly increased Fe.
- Intervention effect Foliar Zn+P significantly increased Ca concentrations.
- Intervention effect Foliar Zn+N significantly decreased grain PA/Zn, PA/Fe and PA/Ca molar ratios.
- Intervention effect Foliar Zn+P significantly decreased grain PA/Zn, PA/Fe and PA/Ca molar ratios.
- Recommendation The authors suggest including Zn in N or P foliar applications to raise wheat grain Zn.
