✦ Synopsis

Effect of manganese on absorption and translocation of zinc b y rice seedlings was studied in a nutrient solution using radioactive zinc (Zn65). W i t h increase in manganese application, zinc uptake decreased in roots, but increased in shoots with an application upto 10 tzM manganese. Reduction in zinc absorption was more at low rates of zinc application. However, translocation of zinc from roots to shoots increased with manganese application upto 20 ~M but the increase was more pronounced with an application of 2~M zinc only.
