The Content and Uptake of Magnesium by Ragi (Eleusine Coracana Gaertn.) as Influenced by Soil Type and Application of Magnesium, Potassium and Lime.

Abstract

Magnesium content and uptake of root and shoot ware positively correlated with their corresponding root and shoot yield. At Mo, level liming increased Mg uptake by the crop while at other levels liming decreased Mg uptako Likewise it Ke level Mg increased the My uptake while at K, laval Mg application decreased Mg uptake. What may be called a one-way competition with the uptake of Mg (magnesium being reduced by an increase in nutrient K whereas D absorption was hardly affected by the presence of nutrient Mg) was also noticed in the prasent study.
