Abstract

Copper (Cu) is an essential micronutrient for plant growth and a potentially toxic heavy metal. Copper application can have a significant impact on Mn, K, P and other nutrients role in plants nutrition. In this study checked out the effect of applied Cu on corn (Zea mays L.) growth, concentration and uptake of Cu, Mn, K and P in 21 calcareous soils. To measure the concentration and content of the nutrient of the study, in a greenhouse experiment, corn plant (Zea mays L.) single cross 704 variety cultivated in two levels of Cu, zero (control) and 7.5 mg Cu kg-1 soil as CuSO4.5H2O. The experiment was carried out as factorial in a randomized complete blocks design with three replications. According to the results, by application of copper, significant (p
