e1“Sprinkler application and conventional preplant application effects of P and Zn fertilizers on the dry matter yield, nutrient content, and grain yield of corn ( Zea mays L.) were compared in 1968 and 1969”

Other claims from this paper (7)
- Intervention effect Preplant P treatments gave significantly higher corn dry matter yield during the first 5 weeks of the growing season than sprinkler application.
- Intervention effect No significant difference in corn dry matter yield existed between P treatments after the first 5 weeks.
- Intervention effect Preplant P and Zn gave slightly higher P and Zn concentrations in corn plants than sprinkler P and Zn in 1969.
- Intervention effect Zn application did not significantly increase corn grain yield in 1969.
- Observation Sprinkler-applied P did not move below a 4–5 cm depth on a Nunn clay loam soil in 1968.
- Observation Sprinkler-applied P moved to about 18 cm depth on a Haxtun loamy sand in 1969.
- Observation Sprinkler-applied Zn moved to a maximum depth of 5 cm on both soils.
