Abstract The root uptake of germanium, as well as its phytotoxicity, was demonstrated in 1935 by Geilman and BrÜnger (1) in a study with barley, oat and several other crop plants. They were studied on an artificially prepared soil mediums consisting of sand and peat. Recently, a research work on the germanium uptake by lowland rice was reported by Chino and Tanaka (2) with special reference to the pollution problem. The problem was originated from irrigation water contaminated with industrial waste. Meanwhile, the analogous property of germanium to silicon in chemical behavior can be assumed because of their close positions in the periodic table.
