What is Zinc Deficiency in Wheat Production about?

Zinc is a critical micronutrient for wheat that improves yield and nutritional quality. Approximately 50% of wheat producing soils globally are low in zinc. Zinc deficiency decreases wheat growth and yields by up to 55%, and reduces grain zinc levels, exacerbating human zinc deficiency in wheat-consuming regions. Soil tests can identify zinc deficient soils as containing less than 0.5 ppm DTPA-extractable zinc. Applying zinc sulfate at 5-100 kg/ha to soils or as a foliar spray at 2.5-10 kg/ha can correct zi
