Effect of zinc-enriched urea on productivity, zinc uptake and efficiency of an aromatic rice-wheat cropping system

2008-07-01

Abstract excerpt

Zinc deficiency is prevalent worldwide and is a barrier in achieving yield targets in crops. It is also now recognized as a leading risk factor for disease in humans in developing countries. Generally, soil application of 5-17 kg Zn ha⁻¹ y⁻¹ (25-85 kg zinc sulphate heptahydrate ha⁻¹ y⁻¹) or more is recommended for rice. However, in the developing rice-growing countries of Asia, zinc sulphate of desired quality is...
