Navy bean response to zinc application in the field locations
Aims

To determine: (a) the field response to zinc application, (b) cultivar variation in sensitivity to zinc deficiency, ( c) whether such variation in sensitivity is of practical significance. 

Key messages
  • Application of zinc sulphate (10 kg/ha zinc) resulted in significant yield responses in two navy bean varieties but did not alleviate zinc deficiency in one.
  • The relatively insensitivity of Selection 46 variety to zinc application suggests it may be a worthwhile selection character.
