Other claims from this paper (15)
- Intervention effect P fertilizer decreased wheat grain zinc concentration by 33–39%.
- Association Wheat following canola had lower grain zinc than wheat following linola and pasture.
- Association Wheat following fallow had lower grain zinc than wheat following linola and pasture.
- Intervention effect P fertilizer decreased AMF colonization of wheat roots.
- Association Canola and fallow sequences yielded lower AMF colonization than linola and pasture.
- Mechanism The authors hypothesize that fertilizer and sequence act on grain zinc through AMF.
- Intervention effect P fertilizer increased grain phosphorus concentration by 17%.
- Intervention effect P fertilizer increased grain phytic acid concentration by 19%.
- Intervention effect P fertilizer had little effect on grain calcium, iron and polyphenols.
- Association Pasture preceding wheat slightly raised grain phosphorus.
- Association Canola preceding wheat slightly raised grain iron.
- Observation Grain zinc bioavailability was low in all treatments.
- Association Grain zinc bioavailability mostly reflected zinc concentration.
- Observation Milled flour from fertilized wheat after canola showed low zinc bioavailability.
- Observation Milled flour from fertilized wheat after fallow showed low zinc bioavailability.
