When soybeams (Glycine max L. Merr. Bragg) were grown in solution culture, the PI54619-5-1 cultivar was Fe-deficient when the Zn level was 10/sup -4/M. Iron contents in leaves were reduced by the high Zn level in the Hawkeye cultivar but less so than with the PI54619-5-1 cultivar. The high Zn resulted in depressed Fe contents in leaves, stems, and roots of both cultivars and in some direct effects of Zn toxicity with the Hawkeye cultivar. A high level of FeEDDHA (ferric ethylenediamine (di(o-hydroxyphenylacetic acid)) partially overcame the Fe deficiency induced by a high Zn level.
