Summary The cause of leaf chlorosis, frequently observed on soybeans (Glycine max (L.) Merr.) grown on high pH soils of the Mississippi Blackland Prairie, is thought to be low Fe availability and restricted rooting. Three greenhouse experiments were conducted using two soils, Sumter, a Rendollic Eutrocrept and Okolona, a Typic Chromudert; nine soybean cultivars differing in Feefficiency; and trifluralin (α-α-α-trifluoro-2,6-dinitro-N, N-di-propyl-p-toludine). Trifluralin at rates greater than 0.56 kg/ha caused chlorosis which was more severe on the Sumter, a soil low in available Fe. Fe-efficient cultivars were more resistant to the chlorosis induced by trifluralin than the Fe-inefficient cultivars. It was concluded that the chlorosis is an Fe deficiency caused by reduced uptake. The herbicide-induced chlorosis can be avoided by proper dosage and placement of the herbicide.
