Crop Response to Zinc Fertilization as Influenced by Lime and Phosphorus Applications¹

Abstract

Synopsis Response of flax and sorghum to zinc fertilization increased as the liming rate was increased from 2 to 6 tons of CaCO3 per 2 million pounds of Hartsells soil. Phosphorus fertilization did not affect zinc response. Best growth was obtained when the Ca/Mg ratio of the liming material as 2/1.

Studies on Mg, B, and Zn deficiencies in acid ‘Wilder’ soil of California

“…This finding appears to be in agreement with the observations of Seatz et al la and Kac-Kacas 9. Seatz et al 15 showed that high liming induced Mg deficiency in flax and sorghum, whilst K a e-K a c a s 9 observed that Mg application increased maize yield on limed soil but not on acid unlimed soil. K e d r o v-Z i k h m a n 10 working with clover grown in podzolic soils found that crop yields In an attempt to isolate the effects due to deficiencies of other elements, the Mg deficiency being earlier observed to be one of the reasons for the failure of radish crop in the 'Wilder' soil limed with CaCO3, it was found that the radish plants were suffering from boron deficiency when the soll was limed to near neutrality (Table 4).…”

The Interaction of Chloride with Sulfate and Phosphate in the Nutrition of Potato Plants (Solanum tuberosum)1

“…Seatz et al . ( 13) reported an initial decrease an~ t~en an increase in the uptake of P 31 by tomato plants w1th mcreasing Cl. They attributed the increased pa 1 to decreas_ed yield.…”

Influência do pH e dos teores de fosfato solúvel e matéria orgânica sobre a fixação de zinco pelo solo

“…341). KHAN (1969), WOLTZ et al (1953), BROWN & JURINAK (1964), SEATZ et al (1959), IGUE & GALLO (1960), constataram em seus experimentos que a calagem acarretava redução na absorção de Zn, chegando às vezes, a causar o aparecimento de sintomas de deficiência desse micronutriente. E, finalmente, LOTT (1939) julga que a toxidez em aveia devido ao excesso de Zn no solo pode ser evitada pela adição de CaC0 3…”
