Other claims from this paper (8)
- Intervention effect Increasing soil zinc improved wheat phosphorus uptake up to boot stage.
- Intervention effect Zinc treatment did not translate phosphorus uptake to grain phosphorus.
- Intervention effect A combined soil and foliar zinc treatment increased boot stage potassium uptake by up to 6.24%.
- Association Plant tissue zinc concentration increased with zinc application level.
- Intervention effect Zinc treated grains contained less phosphorus and zinc than control grains.
- Intervention effect Foliar zinc up to 1.0% progressively increased yield without statistical significance.
- Recommendation The authors recommend revising the zinc sufficiency threshold for alkaline soils.
- Recommendation The authors recommend testing higher foliar zinc concentrations to raise plant zinc.
