- Intervention effect Zinc priming promoted maize plant growth.
- Intervention effect Zinc priming increased final maize plant height.
- Intervention effect Zinc priming raised maize grain yield by about 18% relative to the unprimed control.
- Intervention effect Zinc priming raised maize grain yield by about 8.4% relative to water priming.
- Association Plant growth parameters were significantly related to grain yield components in maize.
- Association Plant growth parameters were significantly related to grain yield in maize.
- Intervention effect Zinc priming increased grain zinc concentration in two maize hybrids during the drier season.
- Recommendation The authors conclude that seeds with elevated zinc content can improve maize field performance on calcareous chernozem.
