Riffat Shaheen; M. K. Samim; Rezwanul Mahmud 2007
Other claims from this paper (7)
- Intervention effect Applied zinc significantly increased tillers per hill in wheat.
- Intervention effect Applied zinc significantly increased wheat grain and straw yield.
- Intervention effect Applied zinc significantly increased zinc uptake in wheat grain and straw.
- Intervention effect Applied zinc significantly increased soil zinc concentrations before sowing and after harvest.
- Intervention effect The effect of zinc application was more pronounced in Khulna, BAU Farm, Maskanda and Modhupur soils than in the highly acidic Sylhet or calcareous Ishurdi soils.
- Recommendation The authors recommend improving soil zinc status through zinc fertilization for increased wheat yield.
- Recommendation The authors suggest higher zinc rates may be required for acid and calcareous soils.
