Abstract

                                A pot experiment was conducted to study the effect of amendments and zinc on the availability and uptake of Zn and Fe in a sodic soil with the treatments comprising of organic and inorganic amendments as main plot and levels of Zn i. e. 0, 10 and 20 ppm as sub-plots using rice crop Bhavani. The study revealed that application of amendments improved Zn availability in soil and uptake by rice grain and straw. Increased application in levels of Zn increased the available Zn content and uptake by rice grain and straw where as Fe availability in soil, content in grain and straw was reduced. The uptake of Fe increased with the application of Zn at 10 ppm.
