| This research was conducted in order to study the effect of using plant residues and zinc sulfate on the absorbability of zinc in soil and its concentration in the grain wheat as well as the effect on the concentration of phytic acid, phytic acid molar ratio and grain protein. The experiment was conducted in the form of a statistical randomized complete blocks design with eight treatments (control, zinc sulfate, alfalfa plant residues, beans and wheat and alfalfa plant residues, beans and wheat plus zinc sulfate) in three replications in a farm in Isfahan province, Dehaghan city. Due to the amount of organic matter and zinc in the soil, zinc sulfate by 60 kilogram per hectare and plant residues by 10 tons per hectare was added to the considered treatments. After that, the amount of 250 kilogram per hectare of common grain wheat of region (Sepahan cultivar) was planted. The obtained results showed that the application of zinc sulfate in the soil on the yield grain and zinc concentration of grin was significant. In treatment that plant residues with zinc sulfate was added in the soil, there was a significant increase in the measured properties compared to the control and plant residues application and zinc sulfate treatments. Among the plant residues of wheat, beans and alfalfa, alfalfa residues led to more increase in zinc concentration and grain protein and more decrease phytic acid and phytic acid to zinc molar ratio in grain. It can be concluded that the application of zinc with plant residues can cause more increasing in zinc concentration and grain qualitative parameters. |
