Broadcasting Fe increased alfalfa forage yield in calcareous soils, however, higher yield was obtained by using broadcasting and foliar application together. In sandy soil, broadcasting 24 kg Ferrous sulphate Ha -1 significantly decreased the yield while 12 kg Ferrous sulphate + 12 kg Borax Ha -1 produced the highest yield. The highest uptake of Fe by the alfalfa in calcareous soil was by the foliar application followed by combination of both methods.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
