Other claims from this paper (9)
- Intervention effect P alone increased corn grain yield in three years relative to no P or Zn.
- Intervention effect P plus Zn increased grain yield in three years relative to no fertilizer.
- Intervention effect Adding Zn to P increased corn grain yield in only one year.
- Observation Grain yield increases for P alone and P plus Zn ranged from 5 to 22 percent.
- Observation Grain yield increases for Zn alone ranged from 5 to 10 percent.
- Observation Silage yield followed the grain yield trend but less strongly.
- Intervention effect Zn fertilization significantly increased tissue and soil Zn.
- Intervention effect P fertilization produced little increase in tissue and soil P.
- Intervention effect P fertilizer minimally reduced tissue Zn.
