Iron is a ‘trace element’ that must be available to rice plants is very small quantities for normal growth and development. However, at high concentrations, iron is toxic to rice plants (i.e. it poisons them). Affected plants develop small brown spots that spread and merge, and finally result in reddish-colored leaves. Moreover, iron toxicity alters the plant’s root structure and development, &lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/blogspot/TTNwz/~4/ePIT2vQ0Kyk" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</summary><link rel="edit" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8465749967612330971/posts/default/5976887756261384439?v=2" /><link rel="self" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8465749967612330971/posts/default/5976887756261384439?v=2" /><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/blogspot/TTNwz/~3/ePIT2vQ0Kyk/rice-that-thrives-on-iron-rich-soils.html" title="Rice that thrives on iron-rich soils" /><author><name>AfricaRice AfricaRice</name><uri>https://profiles.google.com/110050104532507013582</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel="http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail" width="32" height="32" src="//lh6.googleusercontent.com/-zzyLZ1HYnL4/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAABcE/yX7BfZlQ2jg/s512-c/photo.jpg" /></author><feedburner:origLink>http://africarice.blogspot.com/2011/08/rice-that-thrives-on-iron-rich-soils.html</feedburner:origLink></entry><entry gd:etag="W/&quot;CU4DSX44eip7ImA9WhVXF0s.&quot;"><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8465749967612330971.post-3851563784893144741</id><published>2011-08-16T08:43:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2012-04-18T08:46:18.032-07:00</updated><app:edited xmlns:app="http://www.w3.org/2007/app">2012-04-18T08:46:18.032-07:00</app:edited><title>Du riz performant sur les sols ferreux</title><summary type="html">
Le fer est un oligoélément qui doit être disponible pour les plants de riz en très petite quantité pour une croissance et un développement normal. Toutefois, à de fortes concentrations, le fer devient toxique pour les plants de riz (i.e. il les empoisonne). Les plantes touchées développent des petites taches brunes qui s’élargissent et fusionnent et donne finalement des feuilles rougeâtres.
