Iron deficiency has been investigated in different plant materials such as maize (Stocking, 1975 andAlmela et al, 1983), pea (Del Rio et al, 1978 andAbadia et al, 1989), barley (Pushnik and Miller, 1982), sugar beet (Terry, 1980 andPlatt-Aloia et al, 1983) apricot and pear , and citrus (Alcaraz et al, 1986).…”
