Plants were grown in several experiments in which MgCO/sub 3/ had been incorporated into soil. The MgCO/sub 3/ with its high soil pH resulted in plants with Fe deficiency and this was partly overcome with Fe chelates. The disorder was also associated with low P and high Mg. When these problems were corrected, response to Fe chelates was more certain. Soil application of MgCO/sub 3/ was inhibitory of growth and Fe uptake in both Hawkeye and PI54619-5-1 soybeans (Glycine max L.). Agricultural dolomite gave somewhat similar but slightly different response than MgCO/sub 3/.
