Rice is the main food crop is possibly cultivated on contaminated sites. A study was conducted to study of arsenic uptake by the rice genotype in relation to nutrient oxy-anions. Shoot arsenic concentrations under phosphate treatments were comparatively lower than under the corresponding concentration of nitrate and sulphate treatments under As stress condition. Root arsenic concentration decreased with increase in concentration of nitrate and phosphate in the nutrient. Increased level of nitrate through diluted arsenic concentration in root and shoot by promoting tissue growth it appeared to have little effect on uptake and translocation.
