- Intervention effect Mild zinc deficiency depressed shoot dry matter.
- Intervention effect Mild zinc deficiency enhanced root dry matter.
- Intervention effect Severe zinc deficiency raised phosphorus concentration in old leaves to 3 to 4%.
- Mechanism Old leaves displayed marked necrotic symptoms attributed to combined zinc deficiency and phosphorus toxicity.
- Intervention effect Severe zinc deficiency depressed whole-plant dry matter by 40%.
- Intervention effect Severe zinc deficiency depressed phosphorus content by 10%.
- Intervention effect Severe deficiency depressed dry-matter distribution to shoots.
- Intervention effect Severe deficiency enhanced phosphorus distribution to shoots.
- Intervention effect Severe deficiency doubled shoot phosphorus concentration.
- Intervention effect Severe zinc deficiency substantially depressed phosphate absorption rate.
- Mechanism Zinc deficiency concentrated phosphorus in old leaves by depressing new growth.
