e0“Field experiments were conducted to study the effects of soil application,foliar application and soil + foliar application of Zn on yield,Zn contents and accumulation in grain,and Zn use efficiency of winter wheat grown under two N rates at two locations in the middle part of Loess Plateau”
e2“the grain Zn contents are increased by about 40%,up to 40 mg / kg for foliar application and soil + foliar application,not significant with soil application”

Other claims from this paper (9)
- Intervention effect Zn application did not increase the grain yield of winter wheat.
- Intervention effect Foliar and soil plus foliar Zn application increased grain Zn content by about 40%, up to 40 mg/kg.
- Intervention effect Each 1 kg/ha of foliar applied Zn increased grain Zn content by 6.70-13.04 mg/kg.
- Observation Grain Zn utilization of foliar applied Zn was 6.02%-9.40%.
- Observation Total Zn utilization efficiency of foliar applied Zn was 19.78%-30.91%.
- Intervention effect Zinc use efficiency of foliar applied Zn was higher than that of soil and soil plus foliar applied Zn.
- Intervention effect Grain and total Zn utilization of foliar applied Zn were 80 and 132-221 times those of soil applied Zn.
- Intervention effect Nitrogen rates had no effect on yield and Zn utilization of winter wheat.
- Recommendation The authors recommend foliar Zn application over soil application as more cost-effective and environmentally friendly for raising grain Zn concentration of wheat.
