Effect of different levels of manganese, iron and soil types on the yield, content and uptake of copper by wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)

摘要

The effect of manganese and iron fertilization and soil types on the yield content and uptake of copper in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) variety Lok - 1, was studied in a pot experiment in randomized design taking clay loam and sandy clay loam soils. Dry matter production and straw yield of wheat increased when manganese was applied upto 25 kg, whereas grain yield increased upto 12.5 kg Mn/ha application. Iron increased yield upto 12.5 kg Fe/ha. Copper uptake by wheat grain and straw enhanced with 12.5 kg Mn/ha and 25 kg Mn/ha respectively. Copper uptake both by wheat grain and straw increased when iron was applied.
