Effect of soil applied zinc sulphate on wheat ( Triticum aestivum L.) grown on a calcareous soil in Pakistan (2008, background): “In Pakistan, zinc deficiency is a widespread micro-nutrient disorder on calcareous soil (Rafique et al. 2006) and is considered the third most common deficient nutrient after nitrogen and phosphorous (NFDC, 1998).”
Agronomic biofortification of cereals with zinc: a review (2018, background): “…not surprising that Zn deficiency in wheat often occurs when soil moisture is limited because of the low and irregular precipitation reported for Australia (Graham et al., 1992), Turkey (Ekiz et al., 1998; Bagci et al., 2007) and several Asian countries (Rafique et al., 2006; Karim & Rahman, 2015).”
Zinc nutrition in wheat-based cropping systems (2017, background): “Soil Zn fertilization is adopted to overcome Zn deficiency (Rengel et al. 1999) thus increasing plant growth and grain yield (Mortvedt and Gilkes 1993; Rengel et al. 1999) and grain Zn concentration (Rafique et al. 2006; Hussain et al. 2012).”
