Abstract
Oats grown on the acid peaty sands of the West and South Coastal areas of Western Australia develop iron deficiency.
This deficiency can be cured by spraying with iron sulphate. A 2 to 4 per cent, solution can be applied through a low volume spray without damage to the plants. The spray should be repeated when deficiency symptoms reappear.
Growing oats on these soils is not recommended.
