Other claims from this paper (8)
- Intervention effect The six nutrient applications did not affect sunflower seed yield.
- Intervention effect Zn uptake at the 12-leaf stage responded significantly to fertilization.
- Intervention effect Mn uptake at the 12-leaf stage responded significantly to fertilization.
- Intervention effect B uptake at the 12-leaf stage responded significantly to fertilization.
- Intervention effect Zinc fertilization increased Zn uptake in the uppermost mature leaf at anthesis.
- Intervention effect Boron fertilization showed a nonsignificant trend toward lower sunflower yield than the check.
- Intervention effect Boron-treated plots had the lowest sunflower yields among seven treatments in three of four fields.
- Intervention effect Combined across fields, boron reduced sunflower yield relative to iron and sulfur treatments.
