e3“Twice applications at 50 and 65 days from planting by mixture of urea and boron; urea and zinc; urea and potassium were more effective than the treatment with each of urea, boron, zinc and potassium alone, provided the least disease and consistently better of yield and 100 grain weight”

Other claims from this paper (17)
- Intervention effect In vitro, urea alone or mixed with boron, zinc or potassium significantly reduced radial growth and sporulation of Fusarium moniliforme.
- Intervention effect In vitro, boron and zinc alone reduced radial growth and sporulation of Fusarium moniliforme, less than the urea mixtures.
- Intervention effect Potassium alone was not effective against radial growth and sporulation of Fusarium moniliforme compared with control.
- Intervention effect Twice-applied urea mixtures gave the least maize ear and grain rot disease, caused by Fusarium moniliforme.
- Intervention effect Foliar nutrients reduced maize grain fungal infection, mainly by Fusarium moniliforme, compared with control.
- Observation Twice-applied boron alone gave the highest crude protein content in maize grains (10.60%).
- Observation Twice-applied mixture of urea and zinc gave the second-highest crude protein content in maize grains (10.40%).
- Observation Urea and boron mixture applied twice gave the lowest crude protein content in maize grains (9.35%).
- Observation Twice-applied mixture of urea and zinc gave the highest total polyphenol content in maize grains (320 mg GAE/100g).
- Observation Twice-applied mixture of urea and boron gave the next-highest total polyphenol content in maize grains (305 mg GAE/100g).
- Observation Control maize grains had the lowest total polyphenol content (215 mg GAE/100g).
- Intervention effect Twice-applied mixture of urea and zinc raised the antioxidant activity (DPPH) of maize grains to 89.10% compared with control.
- Intervention effect Twice-applied mixture of urea and zinc raised the trypsin inhibitor activity of maize grains to 0.51 IU/mg compared with control.
- Intervention effect Twice-applied mixture of urea and zinc raised the α-amylase inhibitor activity of maize grains to 12.75 AIU/g compared with control.
- Intervention effect Adding corn flour and Gum Arabic in place of wheat flour increased arrival time, developing time and dough stability.
- Intervention effect Adding corn flour and Gum Arabic in place of wheat flour increased the dough weakening value (B.U).
- Intervention effect Adding corn flour and Gum Arabic in place of wheat flour decreased dough water absorption.
