Paper Summary

The study looked at how planting time and zinc application affect wheat productivity and economics. Late planting reduced yields and profits, while 'HD 2967' wheat performed best. Zinc didn't change yields much but increased nutrient uptake. Late planting hurt 'HD 2967' wheat the most.
