Title
Effect of high rates of zinc on several crops grown on an irrigated plainfield sand
L. M. Walsh; D. R. Steevens; H. D. Seibel; et al. Communications in Soil Science and Plant Analysis 1972. doi:10.1080/00103627209366367
Other claims from this paper (10)
- Intervention effect High applied zinc generally did not reduce snapbean yield.
- Intervention effect High applied zinc generally did not reduce cucumber yield.
- Association Leaf tissue zinc increased with applied zinc rates in all crops grown.
- Observation Snapbean leaves accumulated over 350 ppm zinc at the high application rate.
- Observation Cucumber leaves accumulated over 350 ppm zinc at the high application rate.
- Association Zinc removed by each soil extractant correlated highly significantly with plant tissue zinc.
- Method / resource The three extractants were equally effective at predicting plant zinc uptake.
- Observation Applied zinc moved very little down the soil profile.
- Observation At higher rates, applied zinc reached only 30 cm after two and a half years.
- Recommendation The authors conclude zinc-containing fungicides and bactericides should not cause zinc toxicity on Plainfield sand in the foreseeable future.
