Other claims from this paper (13)
- Observation Malawi soil was the most boron deficient of six tested series at 0.06 ppm.
- Intervention effect B 0.5 plus Zn 5.0 kg ha -1 gave the highest maize plant height, 109 cm.
- Intervention effect The treatment gave the highest root length, 30.67 cm.
- Intervention effect The treatment gave the highest leaf area index and chlorophyll content.
- Intervention effect The treatment gave the highest shoot dry weight, 5.38 g.
- Intervention effect The treatment gave the highest root dry weight, 0.23 g.
- Association The soil boron by zinc interaction was significant.
- Intervention effect Higher boron rates with zinc antagonized boron uptake.
- Intervention effect B 0.5 plus Zn 5 kg ha -1 produced the highest rhizosphere bacterial population.
- Intervention effect B 1.0 with Zn 5 kg ha -1 was toxic to soil bacterial population.
- Intervention effect Boron increased biomass yield at extended rates.
- Intervention effect Excess boron caused toxicity in the soil bacterial environment.
- Recommendation The authors concluded that 0.5 kg ha -1 B with 5 kg ha -1 Zn supports higher maize yield and soil compatibility.
