“…Knowledge of the dynamics of micronutrient accumulation to sink organs and the fate of foliar-applied micronutrients at specific growth stages would provide a useful tool to deliver micronutrients more efficiently to meet demand. For many crops, soil micronutrient recovery efficiency ranges from only 5-10%, however there is a lack of data on the recovery efficiency of foliar-applied micronutrients applied at different rates and growth stages in maize production [17][18][19]. As leaves develop, they transition from nutrient importing sink organs to nutrient exporting source organs.…”

Timing of micronutrient demand and acquisition by maize (Zea Mays L.) is nutrient specific and associated with key vegetative and reproductive growth stages. The objective of this study was to determine the fate of foliar-applied B, Fe, Mn, Zn, and Fe/Zn together, evaluate the effect of foliar micronutrients applied at multiple rates and growth stages on maize grain yield, and determine their apparent nutrient recovery efficiency (ANR). Five Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) experiments were conducted in 2014 and 2015 at five locations across Nebraska. Total dry matter was collected at 5–6 stages, and separated into leaves, stalk, and reproductive tissue as appropriate to determine micronutrient uptake, partitioning, and translocation. Foliar B, Mn, Zn, and Fe/Zn had no effect on grain yield for most application time by rate levels, though, at the foliar Mn site, there was a 19% yield increase due to a V18 application of 0.73 kg Mn ha−1 which corresponded with reduced Mn uptake in maize grown in control plots. At the foliar Zn site, there was 4.5% decrease in yield due to a split foliar application of 0.84 kg Zn ha−1 total, applied at V11 and V15 stage, which increased leaf Zn concentrations greater than the established toxic level. Only the Fe site had consistent grain yield response and was the only experiment that had visual signs of micronutrient deficiency. Regardless of application time from V6 to R2, there was a 13.5–14.6% increase in grain yield due to 0.22 kg Fe ha−1 foliar application. Most micronutrients had limited or no translocation, however, early season applications of B, prior to V10, had significant mobilization to reproductive tissues at or after VT. Foliar Mn, Zn, and B application had ANR LSmeans of 9.5, 16.9, and 2.5%, respectively, whereas the Fe/Zn mix had negative ANR LSmeans of -9.1% Fe and −1.3% Zn which indicate suppression. These data highlight the importance of confirming a micronutrient deficiency prior to foliar application, guide specific growth stages to target with specific micronutrients, track the fate of foliar-applied micronutrients, and describe the variable effect of foliar-applied micronutrients on grain yield.

“…Agronomic biofortification with numerous nutrients is considered a profitable and sustainable strategy to minimize micronutrient deficiencies in the population (Zou et al, 2019;De Groote et al, 2021); since it aims to improve the agronomic characteristics and increase the content of essential elements in the edible parts of plants, through application of these elements in edaphic and/or foliar pathways (Jha et al, 2020). Foliar fertilization with Zn is an effective method to obtain desirable concentrations of the element in crops intended for human consumption (Ram et al, 2016;Rehman et al, 2021), furthermore, Zn deficiency is one of the severe micronutrient deficiencies in most of the soils cultivated soils around the world (Noulas et al, 2018;Xie et al, 2019), its application in the plants increase the photosynthesis, antioxidant function, growth, yield and fruit quality through the improvement of plant metabolism (Gomez-Coronado et al, 2016). Zn is an important element in various enzymes that include transferases (Alam et al, 2020), lyases (Esra et al, 2018), isomerases (Chao et al, 2021) and ligases (Kud et al, 2019) and acts as cofactor of more than 300 proteins (Chasapis et al, 2020).…”

Background: Zinc (Zn) is an important element in human health and is consumed through foods of animal origin. However, the biofortification of plants with Zn can be a strategy for the consumption of this micronutrient and to increase the morphology, physiology, and plant yield. Objective: Quantify the effect of Zn application on yield, nutraceutical quality and antioxidant activity of lettuce. Methodology: Foliar application of ZnSO4 (0, 25, 50, 75 and 100 µM L-1) on lettuce plants was made. Yield, nutraceutical quality and the concentration of Zn in the plant tissue was determinate. Results: The optimum Zn dose that maximized yield and nutraceutical quality, as well as the recommended consumption concentration in lettuce in this study was 75 µM L-1 (ZnSO4). Implications: Higher doses of Zn decreased bioactive compound biosynthesis. Conclusion: Zn biofortification is an alternative to increase phytochemical compound biosynthesis and yield with the possibility of improving public health.

“…But because of the adsorption and fixation of calcium carbonate, organic matter, phosphate, and clay in the soil, the effectiveness of Zn in the soil is low (Cakmak, 2008). Zn deficiency is probably the most prevalent micronutrient deficiency in soils (Rehman et al, 2021). The lack of Zn in the soil leads to lower yields (Aziz et al, 2017), and affects nutritional quality of crop plants (Cakmak and Kutman, 2018).…”

“…Deficiency of Zn is also prominent in pregnant women and therefore, causes infant mortality (Ganie et al, 2020). In addition, deaths of children under the age of five caused by Zn deficiency can reach 116,000 a year (Rehman et al, 2021). Therefore, the improvement of the trace element Zn deficiency is very important for animals, plants, and humans (Zhou et al, 2020).…”

Maize Genotypes With Different Zinc Efficiency in Response to Low Zinc Stress and Heterogeneous Zinc Supply

All over the world, a common problem in the soil is the low content of available zinc (Zn), which is unevenly distributed and difficult to move. However, information on the foraging strategies of roots in response to heterogeneous Zn supply is still very limited. Few studies have analyzed the adaptability of maize inbred lines with different Zn efficiencies to different low Zn stress time lengths in maize. This study analyzed the effects of different time lengths of low Zn stress on various related traits in different inbred lines. In addition, morphological plasticity of roots and the response of Zn-related important gene iron-regulated transporter-like proteins (ZIPs) were studied via simulating the heterogeneity of Zn nutrition in the soil. In this report, when Zn deficiency stress duration was extended (from 14 to 21 days), under Zn-deficient supply (0.5 μM), Zn efficiency (ZE) based on shoot dry weight of Wu312 displayed no significant difference, and ZE for Ye478 was increased by 92.9%. Under longer-term Zn deficiency, shoot, and root dry weights of Ye478 were 6.5 and 2.1-fold higher than those of Wu312, respectively. Uneven Zn supply strongly inhibited the development of some root traits in the -Zn region. Difference in shoot dry weights between Wu312 and Ye478 was larger in T1 (1.97 times) than in T2 (1.53 times). Under heterogeneous condition of Zn supply, both the –Zn region and the +Zn region upregulated the expressions of ZmZIP3, ZmZIP4, ZmZIP5, ZmZIP7, and ZmZIP8 in the roots of two inbred lines. These results indicate that extended time length of low-Zn stress will enlarge the difference of multiple physiological traits, especially biomass, between Zn-sensitive and Zn-tolerant inbred lines. There were significant genotypic differences of root morphology in response to heterogeneous Zn supply. Compared with split-supply with +Zn/+Zn, the difference of above-ground biomass between Zn-sensitive and Zn-tolerant inbred lines under split-supply with –Zn/+Zn was higher. Under the condition of heterogeneous Zn supply, several ZmZIP genes may play important roles in tolerance to low Zn stress, which can provide a basis for further functional characterization.
