Other claims from this paper (7)
- Intervention effect Foliar zinc increased grain total zinc by 79.4% under both growth conditions.
- Intervention effect Foliar zinc reduced the grain phytic acid to zinc molar ratio by 54.4% in the field.
- Intervention effect Root applied phosphorus did not affect uptake of foliar zinc in solution culture.
- Intervention effect Foliar zinc plus phosphorus reduced the soluble zinc fraction in wheat tissues.
- Intervention effect In the field, foliar zinc plus phosphorus reduced grain total and soluble zinc concentrations compared with zinc alone.
- Intervention effect In the field, foliar zinc plus phosphorus increased grain phytic acid and phytic acid to zinc ratio relative to zinc alone.
- Recommendation The authors conclude foliar zinc with commonly used foliar phosphorus is an adoptable farm practice.
