- Intervention effect Zinc and nitrogen application increased sorghum plant height and leaf area.
- Intervention effect Zinc and nitrogen increased crude protein percentage and plant zinc content.
- Intervention effect Zinc and nitrogen decreased neutral detergent fiber, acid detergent fiber and ash percentage.
