Other claims from this paper (5)
- Observation Fe-deficiency chlorosis affects crops in Maharashtra and Tamil Nadu, most strongly sugarcane, sorghum, groundnut and legumes.
- Observation Calcareous soils in the affected areas have pH above 8.
- Intervention effect Organically complexed Fe increased crop yield in sorghum in Tamil Nadu.
- Observation Several sorghum and chickpea cultivars were tested in solution culture and tolerant ones were identified for Fe-deficiency stress tolerance.
- Recommendation Fe-deficiency stress tolerance should be included as a selection criterion, along with high yield, in plant breeding and agronomy programs.
