Other claims from this paper (8)
- Intervention effect Sulphur alone showed no detrimental effect on plant growth.
- Intervention effect Thirty ppm sulphur with zinc reduced dry matter yield versus zinc alone.
- Intervention effect Supplemental sulphur and zinc increased their tissue concentrations.
- Association Tissue sulphur and zinc concentrations fell with advancing maturity, particularly without supplementation.
- Observation The authors inferred that much sulphur and zinc uptake occurred after flowering began.
- Observation Tissue zinc accumulation exceeded sulphur accumulation.
- Intervention effect Applying either nutrient reduced shoot concentration of the other.
- Mechanism The authors suggested sulphur-zinc interactions at absorption sites and within plants.
