Abstract

Amounts of DTPA Mn, Fe, Cu, Co. and available Mo of the acid soils in soils growing rice were sufficient to support plant growth. Only 17 per cent soils in Zn and 35 per cent soils in available B were deficient. Content of other micronutrient elements was low. DTPA Fe and Mn were positively correlated with Zn.
