Wheat productivity and soil zinc fractionation in response to foliar and soil applications of zinc oxide nanoparticles under alkaline calcareous conditions
Abstract Agronomic bio-fortification of wheat with zinc oxide nano-particles (ZnO-NPs) could serve as a promising strategy to enhance zinc (Zn) bioavailability in soil, thereby improving grain yield and grain Zn content. Field experiments were conducted over two consecutive growing seasons to evaluate the effect of app...
