Notes:
Summary Relative efficiency of five chemical extractants for the extraction of available Cu in four different soils and its uptake by rice seedlings was studied in a pot culture experiment. The Cu extracted by 0.1N HCl showed significant relationship with plant uptake whereas the values for other extractants except 0.05M EDTA did not approach the level of significance. Among the soil properties studied, pH and CaCO3 correlated negatively and organic matter and CEC positively with Cu uptake by rice plants.
