Evaluation of New Maize Hybrids Response to Zinc in Chihuahua, México
New maize hybrids used extensively in Latin America frequently show Zn deficiency. Treatments in this study included NPK, NPKMgS, NPKMgSZn, and PKMgSZn, which were tested at four locations in the Cuauhtémoc area near Chihuahua, México. The N omission plot was included to understand N dynamics and efficiency in the cropping system used in the region. The sites represent four contrasting soil types which could become fertilizer recommendation domains for the region.
