- Intervention effect Fe and Zn fertilizer interaction significantly affected wheat yield indices.
- Intervention effect Fe and Zn fertilizer interaction significantly affected Fe and Zn concentrations in wheat shoots and grain.
- Intervention effect 120 kg Zn ha−1 plus 5 kg Fe ha−1 improved thousand kernel weight by 9.1% over control.
- Intervention effect 120 kg Zn ha−1 plus 5 kg Fe ha−1 improved grain yield by 23.4% over control.
- Observation Wheat shoot Zn concentration at tillering was 37.0–58.2 mg Zn kg−1, higher than at later stages.
- Observation Wheat shoot Fe concentration was highest at stem elongation, 98.5–268.8 mg Fe kg−1.
- Observation Wheat shoot Fe concentration at booting was 91.0–150.8 mg Fe kg−1.
- Observation Wheat shoot Fe concentration was lowest at tillering, 80.0–120.0 mg Fe kg−1.
- Observation Wheat grain Zn concentration ranged from 3 to 19 mg kg−1 at the study site.
- Intervention effect 30 kg Zn ha−1 plus 2.5 kg Fe ha−1 increased wheat grain Fe concentration by 100%.
- Intervention effect 30 kg Zn ha−1 plus 2.5 kg Fe ha−1 increased wheat grain Zn concentration by 100%.
- Recommendation The authors propose 30 kg Zn and 2.5 kg Fe per hectare to improve wheat yield and quality in calcareous and saline soils.
- Intervention effect The reported thousand kernel weight increase under the proposed fertilizer regime was 8%.
