Abstract
Effects of irrigation and zinc (Zn) fertilization (0, 7, 14, 21 kg Zn ha-1 as ZnSO4.7H2O) on grain yield and shoot Zn concentration were studied in different cereal cultivars. Genotypic differences between and within species were highly significant. Only minor or no yield reduction occurred in triticale and particularly rye as a result of Zn deficiency while the highest reduction was observed in durum wheats. Increasing doses of Zn applications resulted in significant increases in shoot-Zn concentration at milk stage. Plants become more sensitive to Zn deficiency under rainfed conditions.Key wordscerealsgrain yieldirrigationzinc concentrationzinc deficiency
