Other claims from this paper (10)
- Observation Most applied Zn was in Pb-displaceable and Mn oxide associated fractions after seven days.
- Observation Navy bean growth was normal across soils and treatments.
- Intervention effect Navy bean dry matter yield did not respond to Zn application.
- Association Exchangeable, Pb-displaceable and acetic acid soluble Zn fractions correlated positively with plant uptake.
- Method / resource The DTPA soil test was unsuccessful for diverse prairie soils by correlation assessment.
- Intervention effect Added Zn produced no alfalfa yield response in acidic soil.
- Intervention effect Applied Zn significantly increased alfalfa Zn concentration in both soils.
- Intervention effect Applied Zn significantly increased alfalfa total Zn uptake in both soils.
- Association Calcareous-soil plant Zn uptake apparently came from exchangeable, acid soluble and possibly residual fractions.
- Association Acid-soil plant Zn uptake apparently came from exchangeable, Pb-displaceable, acid soluble and possibly Mn oxide associated fractions.
