Abstract

Iron-zinc interrelationship was studied in a black loamy soil. The dry matter yield of rice was found to be the maximum and significantly higher due to soil application of 10 ppm iron and 5 ppm zinc. Uptake of Fe was significantly influenced by its application alone. Uptake of Zn was significantly enhanced with increase in levels of Zn application but decreased with increased doses of applied Fe.
