- Intervention effect Fertilizer type significantly affected maize plant height.
- Intervention effect Fertilizer type significantly affected maize 1000-grain weight and grain yield.
- Intervention effect Fertilizer type significantly affected maize iron and zinc contents.
- Intervention effect Soil application of iron chelate yielded the highest maize iron content, 30.25 and 38 mg.kg-1 in successive years.
- Intervention effect Soil application of zinc chelate yielded the highest maize zinc content, 33.25 mg.kg-1 in year two.
- Intervention effect Foliar zinc chelate treatment produced maize grain yield of 5.22 kg.ha-1.
- Intervention effect Foliar zinc chelate had the highest reported fertilization effect, 163.33 versus control in year two.
- Mechanism The authors concluded that soil iron and zinc fertilizer is absorbed late and does not increase grain weight or yield.
