Abstract

This review discusses about phosphorus and zinc fertilizer consumption led to increasing yield and yield components of the crops. The objectives of this review were focuses on the impact of application of phosphorus and zinc fertilizers on yield and yield components of crop plants and their importance on crop performance enhancement. The other important aspect of phosphorus and zinc nutrition is the interaction effect between them, especially in soils marginally deficient in phosphorus and zinc. When phosphorus and zinc were fertilized together, to such soils, crop yields are reported to increase with positive interaction of phosphorus and zinc. The Applications of zinc and phosphorus fertilizers led to increasing yield and yield components of crops such as height, number of tiller, Biomass yield, the number of filled grain spike, yield in ha, spike weight in plant, grain length, spike length in m 2 and harvest index etc. Thus, it is important to apply the effect of P and Zn nutrients to improve yield and yield components of cops.

Highlights

  • Maximizing and stabilizing of agriculture plants yield are the main purposes of advanced agriculture one of the most important and limiting problems for developing a successful economical agriculture in nutrition elements deficiency

  • The report indicated that, there was a significant difference between both of 200 kg p205/ha and 250 kg P2O5/ha with the control treatment and the plant height was increased from 104.30 cm to 112.30 cm from control (0 kg p205/ha) to 250 kg p205/ha, respectively. These results were in confirmation with the findings of Alam et al, (2003), who reported that the plant height significantly increased with increasing of application rates of phosphorus fertilizer to the soil

  • The most important factors affecting on the zinc usability can be noted as due to: Zinc total value maybe very low in highly acidic soils due to the intense soil leaching, Zinc usability decreases by increasing soil pH, because the minerals solubility reduced and zinc uptake increases by soil colloidal particles such as clay minerals, iron and aluminum oxides, organic matter and calcium carbonate, Zinc usability decreases by decreasing temperature and light intensity due to limited root development, Zinc usability by plants decreases by high levels of phosphorus in the soil, Zinc uptake by plants inhibits by some metal cations such as Cu2+ and Fe2+, (Chang et al, 2007; Alloway, 2008). 2.2.2

Introduction

Maximizing and stabilizing of agriculture plants yield are the main purposes of advanced agriculture one of the most important and limiting problems for developing a successful economical agriculture in nutrition elements deficiency. These results were in confirmation with the findings of Alam et al, (2003), who reported that the plant height significantly increased with increasing of application rates of phosphorus fertilizer to the soil.
