- Association Zinc deficiency led to low seed set in chickpea.
- Intervention effect Foliar ZnSO4 partially reversed the adverse effect of zinc deficiency on chickpea pollen-stigma morphology and pollen fertility.
- Intervention effect Foliar ZnSO4 greatly enhanced seed yield of zinc-deficient chickpea plants.
- Intervention effect Zinc foliar application improved the boldness and vigor of seeds of zinc-deficient chickpea plants.
- Intervention effect Zinc foliar application improved seed zinc content in both zinc-deficient and sufficient chickpea seeds.
