Table 2. Dry mass (DM) of plant parts of young orange trees 150 days after ZnSO₄ and ZnO application in soils with sandy loam or clay texture.

Soil type	Zn source			F test a
	ZnSO4	ZnO	Average	Soil	Source	Soil*Source
	Young fruits b (g plant-1)
Sandy loam	63	31	47 A	**	*	ns
Clay	9	5	7 B

Average	413 a	360 b

Soil type: the means (n = 3 or 6) followed by different uppercase letters within the columns are significantly different by the Tukey test (p<0.05). Zn sources: the means (n = 3 or 6) followed by different lowercase letters across paired columns are significantly different by the Tukey test (p<0.05).

^aF test in the ANOVA of Soil vs. Source for each evaluated parameter. ns: not significant (p>0.05);

*p<0.05;

**p<0.01.

^bYoung fruits: 3–5 cm in diameter.
