- Intervention effect Appropriate phosphorus with sufficient zinc increased grain phosphorus and zinc concentrations.
- Intervention effect Zinc supply improved the proportions of grain zinc and phosphorus relative to the whole plant.
- Intervention effect Increasing phosphorus decreased the proportions of grain zinc and phosphorus relative to the whole plant.
- Mechanism Phosphorus and zinc acted antagonistically in roots.
- Intervention effect Excess phosphorus inhibited zinc uptake in roots.
- Intervention effect Zinc decreased phosphorus transfer from roots to shoots.
- Intervention effect Supplemental zinc facilitated transfer to grain of phosphorus already transported to shoots.
- Intervention effect Excess phosphorus decreased zinc distribution in grain.
- Intervention effect Zinc enhanced zinc and phosphorus uptake in grain.
- Recommendation The authors conclude that combining zinc fertilizer with extensive phosphorus fertilization can increase grain phosphorus and zinc concentration and zinc bioavailability.
