- Intervention effect Foliar zinc at 0.75% initially caused phytotoxicity that disappeared after 8–10 days.
- Intervention effect Zinc application significantly enhanced maize growth and yield relative to absolute control.
- Intervention effect Zinc application significantly enhanced maize zinc content and quality relative to absolute control.
- Observation Seed treatment was the cheapest zinc application method.
- Intervention effect Seed treatment with 4 g kg-1 zinc produced the highest maize grain yield and net returns.
- Intervention effect Foliar zinc at 0.75% left the maximum residual elemental zinc in soil.
- Recommendation The authors considered seed treatment with 4 g kg-1 zinc a suitable sustainable agronomic practice.
