Three field trials were carried out to study the uptake of iron by stalks, leaves and "stalks + leaves" by sugarcane. The trials were carried out on the 3 great groups of soils, which were: Latossolic B "Terra Roxa" - LR, Ortho Dark Red Latossol - LE and Red Yellow Podzolic - Laras variation-PV1s, in the State of Sao Paulo. Variety under investigation was CB41-76. Harvests were made every two months, from the 4 th to the 16 th month for plant cane, and 4 th to 12 th month for ratoons. At each harvest and for each replicate, samples were drawn from a furrow 3 metres in length. The experimental design was a splite-plot, and each time of sampling constituted a su-plot. It was concluded that there is a soil influence on iron concentration (stalks, leaves and leaf +3) and on the iron uptake (stalks, leaves and "stalks + leaves") for plant cane and ratoons on, where the values of PVls soil were lower than LR and LE soils. The concentration of iron in the leaf +3 behave differently, according to the age.
