It was also compared with the reflux method for boron assay. Thirty-three wetland rice soils were analyzed for zinc and copper by the four methods. Rice was grown on the flooded soils, scored visually for zinc deficiency, and the plants analyzed for zinc and copper content. In the boron study, 53 soils were extracted by the reflux method and the 0.05 M HCl procedure. Rice was grown on the flooded soils, scored visually for boron toxicity, and the T2 - Plant and Soil ER -
