Other claims from this paper (7)
- Intervention effect One heading application increased grain zinc by 5.8 to 9.5 mg kg −1, or 17–47%, over control.
- Intervention effect Two applications produced grain zinc concentrations of 44.3 and 52.4 mg kg −1 in Years 2 and 3.
- Recommendation The second flowering application was necessary to exceed 40 mg kg −1 grain zinc.
- Intervention effect Zinc application marginally increased grain yield.
- Observation The yield increase did not offset additional zinc fertilization costs.
- Observation The net return from the first zinc application was −1 USD ha −1.
- Observation The net return from the second zinc application was +13 USD ha −1.
