Other claims from this paper (8)
- Intervention effect Phosphorus fertiliser raised grain yield by about 50 and 100% in two experiments.
- Intervention effect Phosphorus fertiliser did not significantly change grain yield in the third experiment.
- Intervention effect Zinc fertiliser produced small grain yield increases, significant in one experiment only.
- Intervention effect Phosphorus increased pods per plant in one experiment.
- Intervention effect Phosphorus fertiliser increased phosphorus concentration in grain.
- Intervention effect Zinc fertiliser increased zinc concentration in grain.
- Intervention effect Phosphorus and zinc fertiliser had no effect on other measured grain nutrient concentrations.
- Observation The authors infer that phosphorus is the major nutrient deficiency for grain production in neutral to alkaline soils.
