Other claims from this paper (12)
- Intervention effect Sodium application decreased shoot dry matter yield of corn.
- Intervention effect Sodium application decreased K and Ca concentration in corn.
- Intervention effect Sodium application increased Na concentration in corn.
- Intervention effect Magnesium and Zn concentrations in corn were not influenced by Na when Zn was applied.
- Intervention effect Potassium generally reduced the effectiveness of the Na and Zn treatments in corn.
- Intervention effect Potassium increased K concentrations in corn.
- Intervention effect Potassium decreased Ca, Mg and Na concentration in corn.
- Intervention effect Zinc increased corn yield.
- Intervention effect Zinc increased Zn, K and Mg concentration in corn.
- Intervention effect At low K levels, application of 10 ppm Zn decreased Na and Ca concentration in corn.
- Association A triangular relationship among Na, K and Zn was evident in corn, each depressing the others effectiveness on growth and tissue concentrations.
- Mechanism The adverse effect of Na on corn growth was attributed to its antagonistic relationship with Ca, K and Zn in plants and to increased soil salinity and alkalinity hazards.
