Other claims from this paper (7)
- Intervention effect Supply of micronutrients significantly increased elemental concentrations in tomato and bean plants.
- Association The highest element concentrations in tomato and bean plants did not always correspond to the highest yields.
- Intervention effect Lower levels of combined micronutrients improved growth conditions of tomato and beans considerably.
- Intervention effect Higher levels of combined micronutrients were less effective than lower levels.
- Intervention effect The clay carrier was more efficient than salts in element supply and similar to chelates.
- Intervention effect The clay carrier gave better yield responses than salts.
- Observation Optimal application rates for dry yield in tomato were 0.5 mg Cu, 1.6 mg Zn and 2.5 mg Mn per kg soil for clay and chelate forms, somewhat higher for salts.
