Physiological mechanisms for acid-soil tolerance of upland rice in the savanna of South America
Country
Latin America
Description
［Synopsis］
The Physiological mechanisms controlling genotypic differences of upland rice in tolerance to acid-soils were investigated in the savanna of South America. It was found that the soil pH decreased to 4.3 during crop growth, and the Al concentration in the soil solution increased to the level which brought about direct toxic effect on root growth. The tolerant genotypes the rhizosphere showed a slightly higher pH were able to avoid Al toxicity.
