Other claims from this paper (12)
- Intervention effect Foliar micronutrient treatments increased Cu and Mn in wheat vegetative tissue.
- Intervention effect Foliar micronutrient treatments did not increase Cu and Mn in wheat grain.
- Intervention effect Sodium borate at 2.3 kg B/ha increased wheat plant B by an average of 68%.
- Intervention effect Zinc sulfate at 4.4 kg/ha gave small improvements in wheat plant Zn, generally below 20%.
- Observation In 2004–05 there was no wheat yield response to the micronutrient treatments.
- Intervention effect Manganese increased wheat yield at two sites, by up to 0.9 t/ha.
- Intervention effect Zinc and copper gave no wheat yield response in the trials where manganese did.
- Observation The soil EDTA test was a poor indicator of wheat micronutrient status.
- Observation The critical tissue Mn concentration for 95% of maximum wheat yield at ear emergence was 13 mg/kg.
- Observation Wheat crops with more than 12 mg Zn/kg at mid-tillering do not respond to applied Zn.
- Observation Wheat crops with more than 10 mg Zn/kg at ear emergence do not respond to applied Zn.
- Observation Wheat crops with more than 2 mg Cu/kg were not responsive to Cu.
