Summary
A greenhouse experiment was conducted to study the Zn uptake at various growth stages of groundnut plant. Soil used for the study was non calcareous typic Torripsamment, low in available Zn. Results obtained revealed that highest amount of Zn was accumulated in shoot portion at midflowering and declined severely at 75 days of plant growth. Its concentration in shoot portion increased again at maturity. Maximum Zn translocation from the shoot portion to fruits occurred between 50 and 75 days growth period. P application showed an antagonistic effect on Zn uptake. re]19760213
