- Intervention effect Uncoated control sorghum seeds had 9% lower minimum seed area than coated treatments.
- Intervention effect Uncoated control sorghum seeds had 14% lower total seed area than coated treatments.
- Intervention effect The emergence speed index differed by 10.47 between control and zinc-coated sorghum seed treatments.
- Intervention effect A zinc dose of 28 g kg-1 seeds gave greater aerial dry matter production in sorghum.
- Observation Sorghum aerial tissue under 28 g kg-1 seed zinc had nutrient content of 75.85 mg kg-1.
- Intervention effect Zinc seed coating affected sorghum aerial and root length and dry matter production.
- Intervention effect Zinc seed coating did not affect sorghum seed physical characteristics, germination, or emergence time.
- Observation Applied zinc accumulated mainly in sorghum roots.
- Intervention effect Applied zinc changed calcium content in sorghum seeds and other plant parts.
- Intervention effect Applied zinc changed magnesium content in sorghum seeds and other plant parts.
