Abstract

[123.47.012:120.28].Maize and sorghum plants were grown in growth chambers in eleven fine textured soils (Hapludults, Hapludalfs and Paleudults pH 4.8 to 6.4). The pH was raised to 6.5 and nutrients other than Zn were supplied to all pots. Zn was applied at rates of 0 or 5.0 ppm. 0.05 N HCl + 0.025 N H2SO4 and 0.1 N HCl both extracted similar amounts of Zn from soil but DTPA-TEA extracted less. Zn application increased plant Zn concentration but not plant yields
