Other claims from this paper (4)
- Intervention effect Early foliar zinc application significantly affected zinc accumulation in maize stems and leaves.
- Observation During the second growth stage, zinc moved from stems to other organs.
- Recommendation The authors conclude that synthesized zinc hydroxy nitrate has potential as a long term foliar fertilizer.
- Intervention effect Optimal zinc concentration management improved corn grain quality versus the control.
