Abstract | ||||
During the winter season of 2019/2020, 2020/2021 and 2021/2022 in Egypt, two locations were representing clay and calcareous soils, where wheat varieties are grown, namely Giza 168, Giza 171 and Gemmeiza 11. These varieties spraying with Zn sulfate 5 g/L during tillering (1) and milk stage (2) and (stage 1 and 2). It was found that the zinc level in flag leaves of Gemmiza 11 and Giza 171 improved as a result of foliar application in the Tillering+ Millk phases. Giza 171 was superior to Giza 168 in the % of zinc in grain and straw. As a result of the effect of increasing the zinc content in the leaves, grains and straw, the content of some other nutrients such as N, P, Ca and Mg were improvement. In Romania, the experiment was conducted on four varieties: Ciprian, Glosa, Andrada and Padureni. These varieties were treated with zinc sulfate, includes soil with 30kg/ha before sowing, seed treated and foliar application with 0.3% solution at different stages. The combination of seed soaking, soil addition, and foliar spraying led to a clearer effect on zinc %, and the varieties differed in the rates of increases with the method of application. | ||||
