Can spraying wheat with zinc and iron increase both its yield and its nutritional content?
Reveal the findingHide the finding
Yes—in an experiment with Aseman dryland wheat, zinc, iron, and combined foliar sprays significantly increased grain zinc and iron concentrations, protein content, and yield compared with a pure-water control. The combined spray increased grain yield by 42.48%, with grain protein reaching 11.45% versus 7.87% in the control.
