Soil Factors Affecting Zinc Availability In Some Alluvial Soils Of Leyte And Southern Leyte

Abstract:

The effects of pH, organic matter and available phosphorus on the available zinc content of Palo, San Manuel, Umingan and Mandaue soil series were investigated. Available phosphorus and pH exhibited an inverse relationship with available zinc. No relationship was found between organic matter and available zinc.
