Testing whether compost, foliar zinc, or their combination changes dry yield and selected soil indicators under high-pH, irrigated conditions.
Under these field conditions, do compost and foliar zinc—alone or together—produce a measurable change in corn silage dry yield compared with an untreated control?
The combined treatment may improve zinc availability and yield, but high soil pH, irrigation uniformity, and baseline nutrient variation could affect the response.
Reproducible methods
A result is only reusable when the treatment, sampling, instruments, units, and timing are visible.
Record soil pH, extractable zinc, organic carbon, infiltration, prior crop, irrigation, and management history before treatment.
Randomize four treatments within each block. Document material analysis, application rate, date, equipment, and weather.
Collect yield, tissue zinc, soil carbon, and infiltration using consistent locations, depths, dates, and calculation versions.
