Rice Gets Iron Through
Cover Crop of “Greens”
Rice, too, must have its iron.
Rice farmers in Louisiana, Texas,
and Arkansas reported their yields
reduced by white tip or chlorosis
which reduces the life of the panicle
or head of the plant. Both Blue
Rose and Early Prolific, leading
varieties, were affected.
Scientists of the bureau of plant
industry, United States Department
of Agriculture, found affected plants
deficient in iron, although tests
showed iron in the soil but not in
a readily available form.
Ricelands tend to become alka
line after several years of irriga
tion. Iron in alkaline soil tends to
become insoluble. Cover crops,
plowed under, decay and form car
bon dioxide, increasing acidity.
Thus the iron becomes more solu
ble and more readily available to
the plant.
Use of cover crops also improves
the physical condition of riceland,
which tends to pack tightly with
continuous irrigation. Much in the
same manner that “greefis” make
up the iron deficiency in the human
diet, feeding riceland with a cover
crop of “greens” is probably the
best means of combating this nutri
tive disease.
