Abstract:

A pot experiment was carried out to study various aspects of growing peanuts in highly calcareous soil, with special reference to iron chlorosis. There was good agreement among the criteria used to evaluate the need for iron and the effectiveness of different chelates or methods of application (i.e. visual symptoms, chemical diagnosis and yield response). Of the iron chelates tested, Sequestrene 138 proved the most effective. Promising results were also obtained by coating seeds with chelate as an iron starter, followed by an additional top dressing. The results indicate the possibility of growing peanut economically in the highly calcareous soil tested using iron chelate ’Fe EDDHA (Sequestrene 138). © 1972, Cambridge University Press.
