The study looked at how much zinc plants like maize and wheat can get from the soil when different levels of phosphorus and potassium are added. This was done in a long-term experiment at Punjab Agricultural University. The researchers found that the availability of zinc to maize and wheat was influenced by the levels of phosphorus and potassium in the soil after two cycles of crop rotation.
