Other claims from this paper (10)
- Association The 59Fe concentration and uptake in sorghum increased with applied Fe rates
- Association Second crop plants had less 59Fe than the first crop
- Observation Sorghum absorbed similar total Fe per unit dry matter regardless of soil type or Fe rate
- Intervention effect Fe fertilization enhanced indigenous Fe uptake
- Intervention effect Plants grown in Fe treated soils had 2 fold greater indigenous Fe concentrations than controls
- Observation Maximum 59Fe fertilizer efficiency was 1.2%
- Observation Very low amounts of DTPA extractable 59Fe were obtained from the soils
- Mechanism The greater portion of applied Fe was fixed in the soil
- Intervention effect Small Fe applications stimulated indigenous Fe uptake and plant growth response
- Intervention effect FeEDDHA did not correct Fe chlorosis in the clay loam soil
