[Pw_forum] about GGA+U calculation

Dear PWSCF users,
I am doing GGA+U calculation for ZnO wurtzite structure. I attached the
input file for the same.
My doubt is for using "Hubbard U" we are using two additional tags
(compared to simple GGA calculation)
               lda_plus_u = .true.,
              Hubbard_U(1) =8.0, Hubbard_U(2)=0.0,

So I am applying Hubbard U=8 eV on my first species (i.e. Zn) and 0.0 eV on
Oxygen.
But how can I understand that this Hubbard U of 8 eV is applied on Zn- d
states?
or do I have to specify some additional tags or something?

Kindly help in this matter.

Thanks
