- Date: April 25, 2011 - October 30, 2011
- Location: Yongji, Jilin, China
- Soil: Alluvial, 2.21% organic substance, 205 mg/kg total nitrogen, 97 mg/kg available phosphor, 98 mg/kg available potassium, pH = 5.6
- Crop variety: Xianyu 335
- Fertilizers: Water soluble boron fertilizer with B ≥10%, Zn ≥10%, mixed fertilizers (28-8-16, ≥ 52%), 400 g per mu was spread in the soil when the maize seeds were sowed together with routine fertilization
- Trial design: 2 treatments, 4 replications, plot area of 40 m2
