Shao Yun Xibei nongye xuebao 2008
Other claims from this paper (8)
- Observation Detached spike dry matter increased with culture duration.
- Intervention effect High zinc increased dry weight of non-grain spike organs relative to low zinc.
- Intervention effect High zinc grain dry matter was one tenth of that under low zinc.
- Observation Organ zinc concentration rose with culture duration.
- Intervention effect High zinc raised organ zinc concentration significantly relative to low zinc.
- Observation Detached spike zinc accumulation increased over culture time with a fast-slow-fast pattern and slow growth on days 15–20.
- Observation At low zinc, grain zinc accumulation represented 20 percent of total.
- Observation At high zinc, grain zinc accumulation was the lowest and represented 3 percent of total.
