Dry Matter Partitioning and Harvest Index Differ in Rice Genotypes with Variable Rates of Phosphorus and Zinc Nutrition (2016, methodology): “HI in rice increased with application of higher P (80 and 120 kg/hm(2)) and Zn rates (10 and 15 kg/hm(2)) and the increase was more when both nutrients were applied in combination than sole application. The increase in yield components and grain yield as well as higher DM accumulation and partitioni”
Availability of Mn, Zn and Fe in the rhizosphere (2015, background): “Also, the movement of Zn from fertilizers down the soil profile is relatively poor, unless chelated forms are used (Alloway, 2009).”
CuO and ZnO nanoparticles: phytotoxicity, metal speciation, and induction of oxidative stress in sand-grown wheat (2012, background): “Also, metal loading from NPs could remedy deficiencies in Zn and Cu in metal-deficient soils (Alloway 2009; Nair et al. 2010; White and Broadley 2009).”
Nanotechnology: The new perspective in precision agriculture (2017, background): “The parameters that limit zinc availability to plants in calcium carbonate soils are the alkaline pH, which reduces zinc solubility and the high calcium carbonate (CaCO3) content, which can absorb and precipitate zinc [22,23].”
Arbuscular mycorrhizal influence on zinc nutrition in crop plants – A meta-analysis (2014, methodology): “3 mg Zn*kg soil 1 was too low to cause toxic effects even in susceptible plant species (Alloway, 2009).”
Zinc Homeostasis and isotopic fractionation in plants: a review (2017, positive): “in arable soils worldwide (Alloway 2009) due to various factors such as high pH (>7), low plant available Zn content, prolonged flooding, low redox potential, and high contents of organic matter, bicarbonate and phosphorus (P) (Neue and Lantin 1994; Ova et al.”
Heavy Metals: Biological Importance and Detoxification Strategies (2016, background): “Several studies have reported that the presence of metals at low rates in plant systems can affect the plant growth by participating in the redox reaction and sometimes directly becoming an integral part of enzymes [99,100].”
Zinc nutrition in wheat-based cropping systems (2017, background): “Soils with less than 10 μg g–1 Zn are considered deficient while soils with >200μg g–1 Zn are contaminated from different sources (Alloway 2009).”
Zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO-NPs): a promising nanoparticle in renovating plant science (2021, background): “Many important cereal crops are affected by Zn deficiency which includes rice, corn and sorghum and other agricultural crops which show high sensitivity to zinc deficiency are beans, citrus, flax, fruit trees and grapes (Alloway 2009; Nielsen 2012).”
Agronomic biofortification of cereals with zinc: a review (2018, background): “The availability of Zn to plant roots is very low in alkaline soils, which cover at least 30% of the arable land globally (Chen & Barak, 1982; Cakmak, 2002; Alloway, 2009).”
Biofortification strategies to increase grain zinc and iron concentrations in wheat (2014, positive): “Soil Zn deficiency in major wheat growing areas leads to inherently low grain Zn concentration and is considered as a major factor in low human Zn intake (Alloway, 2009).”
