Abstract
The effect of zinc application with or without copper on yield and composition of rice genotype
Basmati-385 and a mutant DM-25 was studied in a pot culture experiment. Rice genotypes responded
to Zn application much more in presence of Cu than Us application alone. The Zn x Cu interaction
significantly increased grain and straw yield and total Zn uptake by both rice genotypes. However,
Basmati-385 compared to the mutant DM-25 gave higher response to Zn in the presence of Cu. Higher
Zn and Cu uptake by Basmati-385 was attributed to its higher straw yield rather than its differential
concentration in grain and straw.
