- Intervention effect Soil boron fertilization increased lentil grain boron content two to fivefold.
- Intervention effect Soil boron fertilization increased chickpea grain boron content two to fivefold.
- Intervention effect Soil boron fertilization increased wheat grain boron content two to fivefold.
- Intervention effect Soil zinc fertilization did not change yield of any tested crop.
- Intervention effect Soil zinc fertilization slightly increased zinc in wheat grain.
- Intervention effect Micronutrient seed priming generally did not affect progeny seed yield or micronutrient content.
- Intervention effect Primed chickpea seeds failed to emerge in the first season at both sites.
- Intervention effect First-season priming caused complete chickpea yield loss at both sites.
- Intervention effect The priming-related chickpea loss was absent in the second season at nearby sites.
- Intervention effect Priming did not affect yield of the other crops in either season.
