Other claims from this paper (7)
- Intervention effect The optimal zinc foliar spray rate for a significant grain yield response in maize was 1.0 to 1.5 kg Zn/ha.
- Intervention effect Zinc fertilizer increased maize grain yield by circa 18 % (mean of three years) compared with NPK fertilization alone.
- Intervention effect Zinc fertilizer at 1.0 kg Zn/ha significantly increased total N uptake and grain yield of maize.
- Intervention effect Zinc treatment increased the number of kernels per maize plant by 17.8 % compared with the NPK plot.
- Association Kernels per plant showed the highest dependence on N uptake among the yield components (R2 = 0.79).
- Association The length of cob significantly shaped the final grain yield of maize under the zinc treatment.
- Intervention effect Zinc fertilizer improved maize yield structure elements.
