- Intervention effect Zinc sulphate application increased plant height, leaf area index, and flag leaf area.
- Intervention effect Zinc sulphate application increased biomass, spike length and number of seeds per spike.
- Intervention effect Zinc sulphate application increased seed weight and harvest index.
- Intervention effect In most cultivars zinc sulphate application decreased the phosphorus and nitrogen content of seeds.
- Intervention effect In most cultivars zinc sulphate application increased the iron and potassium content of seeds.
- Intervention effect In the hotter, drier second year zinc sulphate application reduced the damage caused by drought and heat stress.
- Intervention effect In the second year zinc sulphate application improved seed yield and quality.
- Observation Newer cultivars were superior to old cultivars in zinc fertilized conditions.
- Observation The cultivars differed significantly in all traits measured, indicating genetic diversity.
