The symposium on Zinc in Soils and Plants is the third in a series which began with Copper in Soils and Plants in Perth in 1981 and continued with Manganese in Soils and Plants in Adelaide in 1988. The symP9sium brings together a series of valuable accounts of many aspects of the reactions of zinc in soils, the uptake, transport and utilization of zinc in plants, the diagnosis and correction of zinc deficiency in plants and the role of zinc in animal and human nutrition.
