Abstract

Information about forms of zinc (Zn) in calcareous soils is essential for understanding its bioavailability and mobility. To investigate the effects of salinity and organic matter on the chemical forms of Zn in a calcareous soil under maize cultivation, a factorial experiment as completely randomized design with three replications was conducted in greenhouse conditions. Factors included three salinity levels (0, 15 and 30 meq salt kg-1 soil) and two types of organic matter (manure and wheat straw), each of them at two levels (0 and 2 percent). Sequential extraction procedure of Singh et al. was used to measure Zn chemical forms. Results showed that the Zn concentrations of soluble+ exchangeable, carbonatic, mn-oxide fractions were increased and Organic fraction was decresed by increasing of salinity levels. Application of the all organic treatments caused to increase the Zn concentrations of soluble+ exchangeable, carbonatic, organic, mn-oxide and fe-oxide fractions. The Zn concentration of residual fraction in wheat straw treatment was reduced. The relative percentage of soluble + exchangeable, organic, carbonatic, mn-oxide and fe-oxide fractions were increased and residual fraction was decreased by application of all organic treatments. Salinity caused to increase the relative percentage of soluble+exchangeable, carbonatic and mn-oxide fractions and to reduce the organic and crystalline fe-oxide fractions. Therefore, application of salinity and organic matter caused to redistribution of Zn chemical fractions. Also, the available Zn in soil had a positive and significant correlation with soluble+exchangeable, carbonatic, mn-oxide and fe-oxide fractions.
