Long-term effect of high phosphorus doses on zinc status of maize on a non-calcareous loamy soil (original) (raw)

This study investigates the long-term effects of high phosphorus doses on the zinc status of maize cultivated on non-calcareous loamy soil. Through field experiments conducted over several years, the relationships between phosphorus fertilization, zinc availability, and maize yield were evaluated. Key findings indicate that while phosphorus application can enhance crop yield, it may also influence the zinc content in maize, highlighting the need for balanced nutrient management in agricultural practices.
