Synopsis Response of flax and sorghum to zinc fertilization increased as the liming rate was increased from 2 to 6 tons of CaCO 3 per 2 million pounds of Hartsells soil. Phosphorus fertilization did not affect zinc response. Best growth was obtained when the Ca/Mg ratio of the liming material as 2/1.
