Abstract/Summary:
In Arkansas, rice (Oryza sativa L.) grown on alkaline silt loams often exhibits poor growth, reduced tillering, and bronzed leaves either before of shortly after flooding. Phosphorus (P) and zinc (Zn) fertilization of rice usually increases growth and yields but does not eliminate foliar symptoms. The objectives of this research were to determine if acidification of alkaline silt loams with elemental sulfur (S...
