Zinc nutrition in wheat-based cropping systems (2017, unknown): “In a study on chickpea, seed Zn concentration and grain yield increased by 29 and 19%, respectively, by priming seeds with 0.05% Zn solution (Harris et al. 2008).”
Micronutrient application through seed treatments - a review (2012, background): “In addition to increased yield, seed priming with Zn increased grain zinc content by 12% in wheat (mean of three trials) and by 29% in chickpea (one trial) (Harris et al., 2008).”
Micronutrient-efficient genotypes for crop yield and nutritional quality in sustainable agriculture. A review (2011, background): “Adoption and spread of nutritionallyimproved varieties by farmers can rely on profit incentives, either because of agronomic advantages on trace mineral deficient soils or incorporation of nutritional improvements in the most profitable varieties being released (Harris et al., 2008).”
