Other claims from this paper (11)
- Intervention effect Adding Zn humate eliminated Zn-deficiency symptoms in soybean and wheat.
- Intervention effect Adding Zn humate enhanced wheat dry matter production by 120%.
- Intervention effect Zinc humate and ZnSO4 were similarly effective in increasing wheat dry matter production.
- Intervention effect Zn humate increased soybean dry matter more than ZnSO4 did.
- Intervention effect Zn humate and ZnSO4 increased wheat shoot Zn concentration to 36 and 34 mg kg21.
- Intervention effect Zn humate and ZnSO4 increased soybean shoot Zn concentration to 13 and 18 mg kg21.
- Observation Without Zn supply, wheat Zn concentration was 6 mg kg21.
- Observation Without Zn supply, soybean Zn concentration was 8 mg kg21.
- Observation Without Zn supply, soybean and wheat plants developed visible Zn-deficiency symptoms.
- Observation Soybean and wheat utilized Zn chelated to humic acid comparably to Zn from ZnSO4.
- Recommendation Under Zn-deficient soil, plant growth and yield can be maximized by the combined positive effects of Zn and humic acids.
