Effect of K and Zn Application on Biometric and Physiological Parameters of Different Maize Genotypes

Abstract: Potassium (K) and zinc (Zn) are mineral nutrients required for adequate plant growth, enzyme activation, water retention and photosynthetic activities. However, Pakistani soils are alkaline and have serious problems regarding Zn deficiency. The current study aims at finding the nutrient–nutrient interaction of K and Zn to affect maize plants’ (i) physiological processes and (ii) productivity. For this purpose, a pot experiment was conducted at the research area of the Department of Soil Science, Faculty of Agr… Show more

“…It is widely reported in the literature that the use of Zn fertilizer significantly improve the Zn concentration in plants. Our results are in agreement with the findings of different researchers who reported the increase of Zn in different crops by the application of Zn fertilizer such as winter wheat [ 94 , 95 ], maize [ 96 ], rice [ 97 ] and canola [ 98 ].…”

“…Further, this plant reaction can be necessary for keeping the relative water content of tissue. According to this, the absence of a strong decrease in the water content of white mustard and partial stomata closure connecting to the drop of the transpiration rate are an adaptive mechanism aimed at maintaining the water content in the plants [ 58 ].…”
