Other claims from this paper (5)
- Intervention effect Foliar Zn application alone or combined with pesticides did not affect wheat grain yield compared with the control.
- Intervention effect Foliar Zn application alone or combined with pesticides increased Zn concentration and bioavailability in wheat whole grain, bran and flour regardless of spray timing.
- Association Yield losses of 28%–39% between years led to a 7%–18% increase of Zn density in wheat grain.
- Intervention effect Foliar Zn spray alone or with pesticides uncoupled the negative responses of wheat (yield loss and Zn density gain), which were absent from control plants.
- Intervention effect Grain Zn biofortification was achieved in both low- and high-yield wheat plants with Zn spray alone or combined with pesticides.
