Other claims from this paper (12)
- Intervention effect Zinc fertilization significantly influenced tillers, spikes, spike length, spikelets and grains per spike.
- Intervention effect Zinc fertilization did not significantly influence thousand-grain weight or plant height.
- Intervention effect The 3.0 kg Zn ha−1 treatment gave the highest wheat grain yield, 3.90 t ha−1, statistically similar to higher rates.
- Observation The control yielded the lowest wheat grain yield, 2.99 t ha−1.
- Association The two wheat varieties did not differ significantly in nitrogen and zinc concentrations.
- Association BARI Gom-26 had higher grain iron than BARI Gom-25.
- Association Grain nitrogen and protein increased linearly with zinc application rate.
- Association Grain zinc rose with zinc rate to Zn4.5 and declined at higher rates.
- Intervention effect At 4.5 kg ha−1 zinc, grain zinc fortification was 39.7 µg g−1, 17.1% above control.
- Observation The modeled optimum zinc rate for BARI Gom-25 yield was 4.62 kg ha−1.
- Observation The modeled optimum zinc rate for BARI Gom-26 yield was 3.94 kg ha−1.
- Observation The optimum zinc rate for grain zinc fortification was 5.5 kg ha−1.
