Title
ZINC LEVELS IN RELATION TO GROWTH AND ZINC CONTENT OF WHEAT
KULDEEP SINGH Madras Agricultural Journal 1988. doi:10.29321/maj.10.a02082
Other claims from this paper (10)
- Association The magnitude of the zinc response in wheat depended on growth stage and zinc level.
- Intervention effect In early growth, 2.5 ppm Zn was better for wheat than the other zinc levels tried.
- Intervention effect At later stages, a higher zinc rate of 10 ppm could meet the requirement of wheat.
- Association Zn concentration in different plant parts increased with the rate of zinc application.
- Association Zn concentration was higher in lower leaves than in middle and upper leaves of wheat.
- Association Tissue Zn concentration built up considerably at higher zinc levels.
- Intervention effect Higher zinc levels gave no substantial difference in wheat yield.
- Association The amount of DTPA-extractable soil zinc decreased with time.
- Mechanism The decrease in DTPA-extractable zinc is attributed mainly to zinc fixation in soil during crop growth.
- Observation The total zinc removed through shoot growth was only a small proportion of the zinc lost from soil.
