The aims of the current work were to measure the effect of Mo and Ni on dry-matter yield of rice plants supplied with two N sources (ammonium nitrate and urea) and to evaluate the influence of Mo and Ni on variables related to dry-matter yield, such as activity of both urease and nitrate reductase, chlorophyll, net photosynthesis rate, total N, nitrate content, and Mo and Ni concentrations in roots and shoots
