Feriliser treatments consisted of application of 10 kg Zn/ha (30 kg/ha of ZSM) banded into the soil at 22.5cm spacing once only in 1996 or applications of 1.25 or 2.5 kg ZN/ha as Granulock ST-Z (STZ) placed in the seed-furrow in of each of 4 cereal crops. Phosphorus (P) was applied to the nil Zn control plots and ZSM treatments at 10 kg/ha or 20 kg/ha P as triple superphosphate (20.7 % P) in each crop to match P input from STZ. |
