    Notes: Summary The DTPA-extractable Zn in 23 calcareous soils ranged from 0.34 to 3.42 ppm and the total Zn in rice leaves of control pots ranged from 15 to 50 ppm. The soil available Zn was negatively correlated with pH (r=−0.41*) and positively correlated with organic carbon (r=0.71**)_and rice tissue Zn concentration (r=0.98**). The Bray's per cent yield ranged from 29.12 to 126.36 and was positively correlated with available Zn (r=0.93**) and plant tissue Zn (r=0.91**). The critical Zn concentration in soil and plant below which plant response to Zn application to the soil may be expected, was 0.78 and 19 ppm respectively. In all the soils testing below 0.78 ppm Zn plants responded to Zn application and the per cent mean response at 5 and 10 ppm added Zn levels was 101.21 and 111.38 respectively. A negative response to applied Zn was recorded in soils of the high Zn group where the per cent mean response at 5 and 10 ppm added Zn was −14.90 and −33.78 respectively.

    Notes: Summary In a pot experiment with 26 calcareous soils, the critical limit of Fe in soils and plants was evaluated. DTPA-extractable Fe was found significanty correlated with Bray's per cent yield in rice. The Fe2+ (iron) in rice and lentil was also found significantly correlated with DTPA-extractable Fe as well as Bray's per cent yield showing thereby the superiority of Fe2+ (iron) in leaves over DTPA-extractable soil Fe to differentiate Fe responsive soils from non-responsive ones. The total Fe content in plant tissues does not seem correlated with the occurrence of Fe deficiency. The threshold values of DTPA-extractable soil Fe and Fe2+ (iron) in rice and lentil leaves were 6.95, 44 and 74.5 ppm, respectively below which appreciable responses to Fe application were observed. The optimum Fe level for these soils was found to be 10 ppm in which the dry matter yield response in all the 19 rice soils and 16 lentil soils ranged from 14.28 to 56.16 (Av. 25.75%) and 13.31 to 53.97 (Av. 22.47%), respectively.

    Notes: Summary Studies revealed that Zn-deficiency symptoms were induced markedly by the levels of nitrogen and its source in rainfed lowland rice grown on calcareous soil. Visual Zn-deficiency symptoms recorded 3 weeks after transplanting showed that increased supply of nitrogen at puddling resulted in significant increase in the extent of deficiency symptoms of this nutrient element. Zn-deficiency symptoms got aggravated with Mussorrie Rock Phos-coated urea (MRPCU) followed by sulphur-coated urea (SCU). Zn-deficiency symptoms induced by urea supergranules (USG) and prilled urea (PU) supplying two-thirds of nitrogen as basal were found to be of moderate level. No symptoms of Zn-deficiency were noted with no-nitrogen control.
