@article{(Open Science Index):https://publications.waset.org/pdf/9998824, title = {Effects of Molybdenum on Phosphorus Concentration in Rice (Oryza sativa L.)}, author = {Hamed Zakikhani and Mohd Khanif Yusop and Amin Soltangheisi}, country = {}, institution = {}, abstract = {A hydroponic trial was carried out to investigate the effect of molybdenum (Mo) on uptake of phosphorus (P) in different rice cultivars. The experiment was conducted using a randomized complete-block design, with a split-plot arrangement of treatments and three replications. Four rates of Mo (0, 0.01, 0.1 and 1 mg L−1) and five cultivars (MR219, HASHEMI, MR232, FAJRE and MR253) provided the main and sub-plots, respectively. Interaction of molybdenum×variety was significant on shoot phosphorus uptake (p≤0.01). Highest and lowest shoot phosphorus uptake were seen in Mo3V3 (0.6% plant-1) and Mo0V3 (0.14% plant-1) treatments, respectively. Molybdenum did not have a significant effect on root phosphorus content. According to results, application of molybdenum has a synergistic effect on uptake of phosphorus by rice plants. }, journal = {International Journal of Agricultural and Biosystems Engineering}, volume = {8}, number = {7}, year = {2014}, pages = {689 - 691}, ee = {https://publications.waset.org/pdf/9998824}, url = {https://publications.waset.org/vol/91}, bibsource = {https://publications.waset.org/}, issn = {eISSN: 1307-6892}, publisher = {World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology}, index = {Open Science Index 91, 2014}, }
