Other claims from this paper (9)
- Intervention effect Lowering soil pH from 7.4 to 6.3 significantly increased corn dry matter production and Zn uptake.
- Intervention effect ZnSO4 yielded the highest corn dry matter production.
- Intervention effect Zn20 yielded the highest corn dry matter production.
- Intervention effect Zn27 yielded the highest corn dry matter production.
- Intervention effect ZnFe, ZnK and ZnOS were less effective for corn dry matter production, followed by Zn40 and ZnOxS.
- Observation The fertilizer ranking also applied to corn Zn concentration and uptake.
- Association Higher fertilizer water solubility correlated with more corn dry matter production.
- Association Higher Zn solubility reduced the fertilizer rate needed.
- Intervention effect Corn forage Cd and Pb concentrations and uptakes were not significant for any fertilizer source or rate.
