Description

Iron chlorosis is a universal problem of peach cultivation in alkaline and calcareous soils. The foliar fertilization method of iron application is one of the best solutions to this problem. The aim of this study was to examine the kinetics of 59Fe up take through different iron sources by low-chill peach leaf discs. Three different iron sources viz. ferrous sulphate, ferric citrate and FeEDTA were used in this study. Dual pattern of iron up take was obtained when 0.5 per cent ferrous sulphate was used. The uptake of ferrous sulphate was found to be the maximum at 40 min. Both ferric citrate (0.5 per cent) and FeEDTA (0.1 per cent) showed an exponentially increased uptake up to 10 min. (author)
