Other claims from this paper (14)
- Observation On soils A–E, forage yield was 2·5 to 2·9 g without Zn.
- Mechanism The authors identify Zn as the major nutrient limiting maize yield.
- Intervention effect Applied Mg significantly increased maize yield except mainly in soils D and E.
- Intervention effect Adding Mg to P treatment increased maize P concentration significantly.
- Intervention effect Adding Mg to P treatment increased maize P uptake significantly.
- Intervention effect Zn addition significantly lowered maize P concentration in soils B and E.
- Intervention effect P treatment significantly lowered maize Zn concentration.
- Intervention effect P treatment increased maize Mg concentration.
- Intervention effect P treatment increased maize Mg uptake.
- Intervention effect Mg application depressed or did not change maize Mg content.
- Intervention effect Mg application significantly increased maize Zn concentration.
- Intervention effect Mg application significantly increased maize Zn uptake.
- Association Maize Zn and Mg were negatively correlated, with r = – 0·61.
- Mechanism The authors suggest that Mg may replace Zn in clay or a root metalloprotein complex.
