“…The current results showed that applying 50 kg of ZnSO 4 into a soil with Zn of 0.73 mg kg −1 substantially increased grain weight of upland rice about 20% due to high Zn accumulation in the shoot. This result is in accordance with the report in wheat and maize that showed the further increasing soil Zn fertilizer strongly increased in the grain weight and pollen viability (Arif et al 2017;Liu et al 2020). Also, the number of spikelets of submerged rice grown in an alkaline calcareous soil under waterlogged condition increased with Zn fertilizer at 14 kg Zn ha −1 compared with no Zn fertilizer (Ali et al 2014).…”

This study explored the response in grain yield and quality of upland and wetland rice varieties to a combination of zinc (Zn) and nitrogen (N) fertilizers under two water management regimes. A factorial arrangement based on a randomized complete block design composed of three factors was carried out with three independent replications. Upland and wetland rice varieties were grown with three fertilizer treatments; the optimum N rate (86 kg N ha −1) without Zn application, the optimum N rate with Zn (50 kg ZnSO 4 ha −1), and the high N rate (172 kg N ha −1) with Zn under waterlogged and well-drained conditions. Grain yield was 27% lower in the well-drained than in the waterlogged condition in wetland rice, while there was no effect in upland rice. Application of optimum N with Zn application produced the highest grain yield in upland rice, while yield was the highest in wetland rice in high N with Zn application. Upland rice grown in the well-drained condition with the optimum and high N with Zn treatments enhanced Zn concentration by 45% and 29% higher than the treatment without Zn, respectively, while it had no difference among three treatments in the waterlogged condition. Wetland rice variety grown under the well-drained condition in optimum and high N rate with Zn treatments were equally effective in improving grain Zn concentration at the average of 88% compared to the control. While rice grown under the waterlogged condition in the high N with Zn treatment had improved 92% the concentration. The optimum N rate with Zn application increased grain yield in upland rice, while the higher N input is required for wetland rice. Grain Zn concentrations of upland and wetland rice varieties were enhanced by applying Zn fertilizer; however, the increased level was depended on N application rate in the individual water condition.

“…It is necessary for sexual function and reproduction, muscle growth, and to supply nutrients to the nerves; that P is important for membrane function, nerve impulses, and muscle contractions; that K is important for membrane function, nerve impulses, and muscle contractions; and that Mg is needed for strong teeth and bones. e results of the study indicated that application of Zn and B fertilizers increased values for all the elements (N, P, [29], Zn X P on St. Augustine grass [30], Zn X K on wheat [31], and Zn X Mg on tung trees [32]. e reduction in Ca content of groundnut seeds could be attributed to the antagonistic effect of the two elements which makes Ca not to be available to plants.…”

Field experiments were conducted during 2016 and 2017 cropping seasons in the derived agro-ecological zone of Nigeria to study the combined and sole effect of zinc and boron fertilizers on the growth, seed yield, and quality of groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L).e experiment was laid out in randomized complete block design (RCBD), replicated four times. ree levels of zinc (0, 4, and 8 kg·ha − 1 ) and four levels of boron (0, 300, 600, and 900 ml·ha − 1 ) were combined and evaluated. Groundnut seeds were analyzed at the end of the experiments to determine nutrient elements and some heavy metal contents. Data collected were subjected to Statistical Analysis of Variance using SAS 2000. Treatment means were compared using the Duncan multiple range test at 0.05 level of probability. e effect of zinc was not significant on the vegetative parameters, while application 8 kg Zn·ha − 1 significantly increased number of seeds, weight of seeds, seed yield per hectare, and seed quality though the values were similar to the application of 4 kg Zn·ha − 1 only on the seed yield and its parameters. Application of 600 and 900 ml B·ha − 1 gave higher and statistically similar values for vegetative parameters, yield, and yield parameters, while 600 ml B·ha − 1 significantly improved the seed quality. It can therefore be recommended that for optimum yield and seed quality, application of 8 kg Zn·ha − 1 combined 600 ml B·ha − 1 is sufficient in the study area without increasing the heavy metal concentration of groundnut seed.Means in a column under any given treatment followed by the same letters do not differ significantly at 0.05 level of probability using the Duncan multiple range test (DMRT). * Significant at 0.05 level of probability.

“…In the present study, spraying with both micronutrients at 480 g/ha of each, increased grain yield and yield components of the studed durum wheat cultivars. Several researchers reported that spraying with Fe and or Zn increased wheat grain yield (Habib,2009, Armin et al 2014and Jalal et al ,2020, 1000-grain weight (Pahlavan-Red andPessarakli, 2009 andMonjezi et al ,2013) number of tillers/m 2 (Nadim et al ,2012 andHassanein et al ,2019), number of grains per spike (Mekkei andEL-Haggan, 2014 andRamzan et al ,2020) and biological yield (Arif et al ,2017 andKhaksar andLack, 2019).…”

A two-year field study was carried out at the Agricultural Experiment Station, Alexandria University in 2017/2018 and 2018/2019 winter seasons to investigate the effect of foliar spraying of humic acid (HA) (0 and 2.4 kg/ha) and both Fe and Zn micronutrients (0, 480 and 960 g/ha of FeSO4 and/or ZnSO4, respectively) on three durum wheat cultivars (Casino, Bani Sweif6 and Sohag3). The experiment was laid out in split-plot design with three replications, where combinations of HA levels and cultivars occupied the main plots, while combinations of Fe and Zn levels were randomly allocated to the sub plots. Bani Sweif6 was superior to the other two cultivars for all studied grain yield and yield components except for 100-grain weight. Application of humic acid increased grain yield of Bani Sweif6 and Sohag3, but negatively affected that of Casino. Application of 480 g/ha of both FeSO4 and ZnSO4 gave the highest values with HA application in Bani Sweif6 and Sohag3, and without HA application for Casino. It is recommended to spray Bani Sweif6 and Sohag3 with 2.4 kg/ha HA and 480 g/ha of both Fe and Zn, while more studies are needed to determine the suitable level of HA spraying for Casino cultivar.
