    Dilute hydrochloric acid as an extractant for available zinc, copper and boron in rice soils

    Because zinc deficiency is a widespread disorder of wetland rice and copper deficiency may occur with it, 0.05M HCl was compared with 0.1M HCl, EDTA and DTPA as an extractant for available zinc and copper. It was...

    Effects of water regime on growth, yield, and nitrogen uptake of rice

    The effects of water regime on the performance of rice were investigated in a greenhouse experiment and two field experiments. The greenhouse experiment involved four water regimes (continuous flooding, and so...
