Extract

Lime-induced Fe chlorosis is often a severe problem on calcareous and saline alkali soils. Symptoms of apparent Fe deficiency and responses to its application on several field crops have been observed under such soil conditions (Indian Council of Agricultural Research, 1980–81; Sakal, Singh & Singh, 1982, 1983). Rice varieties exhibit variable reaction to Fe stress when cultivated as an upland crop especially at seedling stage in the nursery (Patel, Ramakrishanyya & Patel, 1977; Singh et al. 1984). Plant analysis is one of the accepted tools for diagnosing nutritional disorders. Chlorotic plants often contain more total Fe than the green plants (Katyal & Sharma, 1.980; Voigt et al. 1982). In order to overcome this elusive behaviour of Fe it has been suggested that in place of total Fe the plants should be analysed for active Fe or dilute HCl-extractable Fe (Machold & Stephen, 1969). Iron is important for chlorophyll biosynthesis and is linked with a number of enzyme systems. The change in the activities of the enzymes has beenused as a yardstick to distinguish Fe deficiency in plants (Del Rio et al. 1978). Wallace (cf. Katyal & Sharma, 1980) and Patel et al. (1977) suggested analysing the plants for that fraction of Fe which correlates well with occurrence of chlorosis.
