Abstract
The addition of CuSO4 to the soil of a Florida orange grove in which the leaves were yellow in place of green ("frenched"), caused the leaves to turn green and the trees to grow better. The green leaves had 4.6 times as much chlorophyl, apparently because the presence of copper enabled the leaf cells to manufacture chlorophyl.This publication has 2 references indexed in Scilit:
