Iron oxidation on roots of two rice cultivars in flooded soil solution
01/Jun/2002
Rice cropped under waterlogged conditions may present symptoms of nutritional disorders similar to those caused by iron (Fe) toxicity. The symptoms do not occur in the same intensity in all cultivars and are more frequent in modern cultivars. The aim of our study was to evaluate the plant capacity of oxidizing reduced iron (Fe2+)on the root surface in green house conditions, comparing two rice cultivars (BR IRGA 409 and EPAGRI 108) with different degrees of susceptibility to iron toxicity and […]
