Other claims from this paper (9)
- Intervention effect Increasing copper and iron raised maize shoot to root ratio and leaf chlorophyll content.
- Observation The increase was most pronounced at a copper to iron ratio of 1:4.
- Intervention effect Increasing iron reduced dry matter yield and shoot potassium.
- Intervention effect Increasing iron increased root potassium.
- Intervention effect Copper at 10 ppm corrected the dry matter yield depression from iron at 40 ppm.
- Observation Shoot iron content ranged from 476 to 889 ppm.
- Observation Root iron content ranged from 1358 to 2060 ppm.
- Observation Micronutrients accumulated more in roots than shoots.
- Observation Nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium accumulated more in shoots.
