Abstract:Reducing iron solubility in calcareous soils causes iron chlorosis symptoms in the plant. In order to investigate the response of M. scutellata to direct and indirect iron deficiency, a factorial experiment was conducted in a completely randomized design with three replications. The experimental factors included three levels of lime (0, 4 and 8%) and five levels of Fe (0, 5 and 10 mg Fe Kg soil-1 as soil application and 0 and 2.1 µM Fe as foliar spray). Zero Fe concentrations in soil and foliar Fe fertilizatio… Show more
