Zinc Nutrition of Onion: Proposed Diagnostic Criteria

Produtividade de cebola influenciada pela aplicação de micronutrientes

“…Por sua vez, Peña et al (1999) aplicaram 5,25 kg ha -1 de B e não obtiveram incremento na produtividade de peso dos bulbos fresco e secos. Em algumas situações, a aplicação de Zn ao solo tem aumentado a produtividade da cebola, e isso tem sido obtido com doses de 16 kg ha -1 (Rafique et al, 2008), de 5 kg ha -1 (Gupta et al, 1985), de 6 kg ha -1 (Lal & Maurya, 1983), de 2,52 kg ha -1 (Peña et al, 1999) ou com pulverizações foliares com 0,3 g L -1 (El-Tohamy et al, 2009). Asif et al (1975) A maioria dos cebolicultores de Santa Catarina, em especial da microrregião de Ituporanga, está adubando excessivamente a cultura, tanto no solo como com pulverizações foliares, pois existe grande pressão dos setores comerciais ligados à indústria de fertilizantes.…”

Effect of Zinc and Boron on Growth, Yield and Quality of Onion (Allium cepa L.) cv. Agrifound Dark Red

“…The combination effect between zinc and boron proved to give best results when comparison with single doses of zinc and boron and control in relation with zinc and boron content in leaves but it did not have any significant influence on sulphur accumulation in leaves. Mishra (1990), Rafique and Mahmood-ul-Hassan (2008), Chhipa et al, (2005), Ballabh et al, (2013) and Ali (2013) observed increased contain of total soluble solids (TSS), dry matter content, zinc, boron and sulphur content in onion by application of micronutrients.…”

Response of Boro Rice (cv. BRRI dhan89) Yield to Foliar Application of Micronutrients

“…The simultaneous application of iron, boron and zinc via foliar absorption led to a notable augmentation in the levels of these elements within the rice grain (Jin et al, 2008). Micronutrient deficiencies, particularly in boron and zinc are becoming increasingly prevalent globally, exerting significant adverse effects on both crop yield and quality (Rafique et al, 2008). According to Arif et al (2012), the insufficiency of micronutrients, which are needed in small amounts, results in reduced crop growth and yield.…”
