Common units

Available Zn often mg/kg.

How to read the number

Zn hits new growth: interveinal yellow, short internodes, little leaves clustered. Maize white-bud is the type. High pH and high P crowd the door. Calcareous soils show it more Easy to mix up: Iron also yellows new leaves with green veins, but not the white-bud shortening. Spray injury is fast and twisted Available Zn is a small door.

Thresholds only, not a prescription. Rates live in the field guide. This page does not hand you a bag count.

What it looks like in the field

Zn hits new growth: interveinal yellow, short internodes, little leaves clustered. Maize white-bud is the type.

Don’t do this

  • White-bud treated as nitrogen.
  • Still pouring phosphorus that blocks the door.
  • Iron also yellows new leaves with green veins, but not the white-bud shortening. Spray injury is fast and twisted.
