“…This indicates a greater phosphorus-use efficiency by the chickpea crop with the use of a lower P dose associated with the fertilization with Zn. In other plants species, such as wheat, there was a yield increase after the application of P and Zn at the doses of 75 mg kg -1 and 5 mg kg -1 of soil, respectively, for providing a positive effect in the metabolism, resulting in normal plant growth (Iqbal et al, 2017).…”

Chickpea cultivation in Brazil has not yet been consolidated, and studies aiming at the adequate nutritional management for this crop are necessary. This work aimed to evaluate the production of chickpea plants (cultivar BRS Aleppo) subjected to fertilization with zinc and P doses. The experimental was completely randomized, with four replications, in a 3 x 5 factorial scheme, corresponding to three fertilization treatments with Zn (without Zn addition; 50% of Zn applied at sowing, via soil + 50% applied at flowering, via leaves; and 100% applied at sowing, via soil) and five doses of phosphorus (0, 60, 120, 180, and 240 kg ha-1 of P2O5). The 100-grain mass (M100), pod mass (MV), number of pods (NV), number of grains (NG), total grain mass (MGT), yield (PROD), dry matter of the shoot part (MSPA) and plant residues (MSRV), and agronomic efficiency (EA) were characterized. There was an isolated effect of the P doses on the M100, MGT, PROD, MSPA, and MSRV characteristics. The application of 240 kg ha-1 resulted in an increase in the production components and a maximum yield of 3,018 kg ha-1, indicating the need to adopt higher doses of P2O5 to increase chickpea production in tropical soils. However, the highest agronomic efficiency was obtained after the application of 60 kg ha-1 of P2O5, along with Zn at sowing.

“…Previous studies have evaluated the influence of P fertilizer application on cereal grain Zn concentrations, usually with specific conditions and single experiments (Friesen et al 1980;Debnath et al 2015;Drissi et al 2015;Dang et al 2016;Coetzee et al 2017;Iqbal et al 2017;Sánchez-Rodríguez et al 2017).

“…The conclusions regarding the P-Zn relationship have sometimes been quite different. Besides finding an antagonistic effect of P on cereal grain Zn concentrations, researchers have found a non-effect (Su et al 2018) or a slightly synergistic effect (Iqbal et al 2017;Naeem et al 2018), and these differences might be due to variation in soil texture, pH, or other soil properties (Haldar and Mandal 1981;Goh et al 1997;Grant et al 2002;Gao et al 2011;Ghasemi-Fasaei and Mayel 2012;Hagh et al 2016). In recent years, a number of studies on the effects of P application on cereal grain Zn have greatly increased.…”

Zinc (Zn) deficiency is a well-documented worldwide problem for crops and humans. Although phosphorus (P) fertilizer application achieves high grain yield in intensive agricultural systems, it can reduce Zn availability in cereal grains. Therefore, a quantitative evaluation of the P-Zn antagonism is needed. A global meta-analysis of 51 publications with wheat, maize, and rice was performed to quantitatively analyze the effect of P application on grain Zn concentration. Phosphorus application reduced grain Zn concentration by 16.6% for wheat, 20.2% for maize, and 0% for rice. Phosphorus application did not affect soil available Zn concentration but, averaged across the three crops, significantly decreased root Zn concentration by 9.94%; the reduction was associated with a reduction in colonization of roots by arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi. Phosphorus application did not affect shootto-root or grain-to-straw ratios of Zn concentration, indicating that Zn translocation and remobilization within the plant were not reduced by P application. Especially for wheat and maize, the P-Zn antagonism was explained by a "dilution effect" and the suppression of Zn uptake efficiency by roots rather than by a suppression of translocation and remobilization. In addition to partially explaining the cause of the P-Zn antagonism, this is the first study using meta-analysis method to quantitatively demonstrate a P-Zn antagonism for Zn concentration in wheat and maize. Biofortification for increasing the grain Zn concentration may benefit from an increased understanding of how P application affects rhizosphere and root processes.

Zinc (Zn) is an essential micronutrient required to enhance crop growth and yield. In the arid – semiarid region, Zn deficiency is expected due to alkaline calcareous soil. Contrarily, Zn toxicity is also becoming an environmental concern due to increasing anthropogenic activities (metal smelting, copper industry, etc.). Therefore, balanced Zn application is necessary to save resources and achieve optimum crop growth and yield. Most scientists suggest biological approaches to overcome the problem of Zn toxicity and deficiency. These biological approaches are mostly environment-friendly and cost-effective. In these biological approaches, the use of arbuscular mycorrhizae fungi (AMF) symbiosis is becoming popular. It can provide tolerance to the host plant against Zn-induced stress. Inoculation of AMF helps in balance uptake of Zn and enhances the growth and yield of crops. On the other hand, maize ( Zea mays L.) is an important cereal crop due to its multifarious uses. As maize is an effective host for mycorrhizae symbiosis, that’s why this review was written to elaborate on the beneficial role of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF). The review aimed to glance at the recent advances in the use of AMF to enhance nutrient uptake, especially Zn. It was also aimed to discuss the mechanism of AMF to overcome the toxic effect of Zn. We have also discussed the detailed mechanism and physiological improvement in the maize plant. In conclusion, AMF can play an imperative role in improving maize growth, yield, and balance uptake of Zn by alleviating Zn stress and mitigating its toxicity.
