Summary
In a pot experiment, Zn-uptake by tomato plants grown on an alluvial soil was increased by P application. When Zn was applied to the soil, no effect was obtained for P application on Zn-uptake. On a calcareous soil, Zn-uptake was increased by P application whether Zn was applied to the soil or not. On both soils, no effect was obtained for Zn application on P-uptake by plants.
