Extract

Zinc deficiency has been one of the major micronutrient disorders of flooded rice. Several researchers have reported that Zn deficiency could be corrected by the application of various Zn fertilizers to soil (Mikkelsen & Brandon, 1975), to seedling root (Yoshida et al. 1970; Katyal & Ponnamperuma, 1975) or to plants as foliar spray. Also there has been much speculation about the most suitable form of Zn fertilizer for correcting Zn deficiency of flooded rice. A glasshouse study was conducted to compare the effectiveness of various Zn fertilizers for rice grown under flooded conditions.
