Abstract Rice (IR 42) was grown on two soils differing in zinc status for 30 days with and without Zn under submerged conditions in pots. The fate of soil zinc was characterized by extraction of the soil successively with copper acetate and sodium hypochlorite and by EUF extraction. Most of the applied zinc was extracted by copper acetate and represented as complexed fraction. There exists a close and significnat relation between Cu(OAc)2-extractable zinc and Zn extracted by EUF for 5 minutes at 50 volts (r=0.98). The EUF-extractable zinc and Cu(OAc)2-extractable zinc were significantly correlated with the zinc content in the plant (r=0.82). The data from this investigation suggest the possibility of Zn fractionation with the EUF technique and the fractions obtained agree closely to those determined by chemical methods. The results obtained indicate that Zn in soil is held by weak organic bonding and that the extractions by Cu(OAc)2 and/or EUF-5 minutes serve as a useful basis for extimating zinc availability in rice soils.
