Abstract


In Madras State the rice crop is found to respond well with green manures and also with the application of major nutrient fertilizers. Recent studies on micronutrients in crop production have thrown conflicting results (Harrison et al, 1917; Joshi et al, 1952; Nagarajan et al, 1963; Lal et al, 1954; Narayanan el al, 1955; Raheja et al, 1959; Pillai, 1966) and in many cases no response to added micro- nutrient fertilizers was recorded (Datta et al, 1960). A study was therefore undertaken to assess the response of paddy TKM. 6 to micronutrient salts.
