Summary

Field and plant tissue tests under Sudan Kenana conditions revealed that rice does not respond to K but response to P was very clear, both from visual symptoms, tissue analyses and in yields. As early as the seedling stage, a concentration of leaf blade-P of about 1300 ppm is considered optimum. Yield, and level of soil application, corresponding to this value were 5000 kg/ha paddy rice and 42·8 kg/ha P2O5 respectively. A low yield (2400 kg/ha) was obtained from plants receiving no P2O5. Phosphate application reduced the grain protein.
