Zinc deficiency in vertisols locations
Aims

To establish the zinc requirements of crops growing on vertisols.

Key messages
  • Glasshouse experiments examine the residual effects of zinc applied in field trials.
  • Growth response to zinc was detected on only one soil even under well watered glasshouse conditions.
  • Plant zinc showed no decline in availability of applied zinc 4 years after its application.
  • Availability of zinc appeared to be improved by incorporation in the topsoil.
  • In other glasshouse studies on economically high applications of phosphorus and zinc were needed to offset the impact of low VAM infection for maize and linseed.
  • Extractable zinc in Queensland inverter solves appears to be related to organic carbon percent.
