Other claims from this paper (6)
- Intervention effect Foliar byproduct fertilization increased maize leaf Fe, Mn, Cu and Zn concentrations.
- Intervention effect Foliar fertilized maize plots had the highest chlorophyll A and B values.
- Mechanism The authors suggest that higher chlorophyll presumably promoted photosynthesis.
- Intervention effect Foliar byproduct application significantly increased maize grain protein by about 30% compared with no foliar fertilizer.
- Intervention effect Foliar byproduct application significantly increased grains per corncob by about 20% compared with no foliar fertilizer.
- Intervention effect Foliar byproduct application significantly increased maize yield by about 13% compared with no foliar fertilizer.
