A greenhouse experiment with 11 soil series and two zinc (Zn) rates (0 and 15 mg Zn kg⁻¹ as zinc sulfate) was performed to determine critical deficiency level of Zn for corn (Zea mays L.) on calcareous salt-affected soils in central Iran. In addition, the most important soil properties affecting Zn phytoavailability were determined. Critical Zn deficiency levels were determined using the Cate-Nelson and Mitscherlich procedures. In most soils, application of Zn increased the dry matter yield, and Zn concentration and content in the shoot and root of corn. A positive correlation was observed between the soil electrical conductivity (EC) with Zn concentration in shoots, roots and whole plant while shoot Zn content was negatively correlated with buffer capacity of Zn in soil. Critical deficiency levels of Zn in soil for corn based on the Cate-Nelson and Mitscherlich method were 1.35 and 1.23 mg kg⁻¹ for diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (DTPA)-extracted soil Zn, respectively.
