Lime-induced chlorosis caused by excess irrigation water. [Soybeans]

Journal Article · · Commun. Soil Sci. Plant Anal.; (United States)
When Fe-inefficient PI54619-5-1 soybeans (Glycine max L. Merr. Bragg) were grown in calcareous Hacienda loam soil with different soil moisture levels, those in dry soil were small and green while those in very wet soil were larger and severely chlorotic. The mineral composition, in part, was typical of lime-induced chlorosis. The chlorotic plants had increased levels of Mn, Si, Mg, and K in leaves. The chlorosis was probably related to ion interactions and balances since Fe levels in leaves were not greatly different.
