Abstract

Among microelements, low level of zinc seems to be the most common property in Hungarian soils. Horticultural cultivation requires a balanced supply of nutrients. Southern part of the Great plain contributes significantly to the supply of the fruit and vegetable to the population, so it is important to follow the soil properties, including measurement of those elements which have special effects on plant growing and human health. In our present investigation we continued the analysis of soils, via determination of the average level and distribution of available zinc content and followed the occurrence of the low and high zinc levels in the surrounding soils. Based on our results we suggest supplementing zinc microelement in plant growing in our region, to get healthy functional products and foods.
