    Notes: Abstract The efficiency of different nitrogenous fertilizers under forced leaching conditions was determined in pot experiments using ryegrass as an indicator plant in a sandy loam soil. Treatments were: ON (unfertilized), AN (ammonium nitrate), U (urea), DAP (diammonium phosphate), T (Triabon), FK (Floranid Komplett) and CDU (crotonylidendiurea). N source effects on N uptake, and N leached (as % of N applied) were evaluated. Results show that the fertilizers which behaved best with regard to N uptake were FK followed by Triabon and AN. The most soluble fertilizers, AN and urea, gave the highest N leaching losses. Significant correlations between EUF-NI (rapidly soluble fraction) and leaching, as well as between EUF-N (I + II) and N uptake by the plant (where EUF-N II relates to the slowly soluble fraction) were obtained.

    Notes: Abstract Plant shoot samples are frequently analysed to assess if crops require additional nitrogen or mineral elements to maintain satisfactory growth. If plant growth is limited by temperature, water stress, disease, lodging or a mineral deficiency, non-structural carbohydrates (NSC) may be accumulated in, or depleted from, tissues especially those in the lower stems. Plant testing laboratories do not routinely analyse NSC to assist in the identification of plant stress probably because skilled technicians and time are required for the wet chemical determination. In this paper we report that routine determination of NSC is possible using near-infrared reflectance spectroscopy; the errors of determination are comparable with traditional chemical methods. The concentration of NSC in the shoots of rice grown in south eastern Australia ranges from 1.6 to 22.8%, as starch. In the shoots of wheat grown in eastern Australia the range is from 2.4 to 35.2%, as fructans. In both crops the NSC content is highly inversely correlated with the shoot nitrogen content. Based on data from commercial wheat and rice crops we suggest that the ratio between nitrogen and NSC can be used to identify crops in which growth has been limited by a stress other than nitrogen and so are unlikely to show the predicted response to an application of nitrogen fertilizer.

    Topics: Agriculture, Forestry, Horticulture, Fishery, Domestic Science, Nutrition
    Notes: Abstract Solution culture was used to characterise deficiencies or toxicities of several essential elements in Ipomoea batatas cv. Wanmun, and to define the critical concentrations of these elements in young mature leaves during vegetative growth. Tentative critical concentrations for deficiency, expressed on the basis of dry weight of leaf blade, were: nitrogen 3.8%, phosphorus 0.17%, potassium 2.4%, magnesium 0.12%, manganese 20μg/g and zinc 10μg/g. For manganese and zinc toxicities it was possible only to designate the range within which the critical concentration occurred. Visible symptoms are briefly described.

    Topics: Agriculture, Forestry, Horticulture, Fishery, Domestic Science, Nutrition
    Notes: Abstract Plant material labeled with 15N is often used to determine recovery of N from green manure crops by subsequent crops. In this study, 15N enriched crimson clover (Trifolium incarnatum L.) was grown at a field site where it was to be utilized in a subsequent experiment. A foliar spray of (NH4)2SO4 (99 atom % excess 15N) was applied to a 1.2 m × 8.8 m plot of crimson clover at a rate of 10 kg N ha−1 in early March 1990, immediately prior to the period of rapid vegetative growth. Clover shoots harvested in April contained 1.72 atom % excess 15N. Total N concentration of enriched clover was similar to that in adjacent untreated clover. Clover shoots contained 20% of the applied 15N, and an additional 27% was recovered from the surface soil horizon (0 to 15 cm). A gradient was observed across the plot, with clover enrichment increasing from 1.3 to 2.2 atom % excess 15N. Recovery of applied 15N in soil was highest in the subplots with lowest clover enrichment. Variability in 15N enrichment was also observed among plant parts: leaves from the basal half of shoots had 2.2 atom % excess 15N; while leaves from the terminal half of shoots, terminal stems, and basal stems had between 1.1 and 1.4 atom % excess 15N.

    Notes: Abstract Leaf expansion and growth response of sunflower (Helianthus annuus, L.) to soil compaction were investigated in relation to compaction effects on water relations, nitrogen nutrition, and photosynthesis. A series of field experiments were conducted with plants grown in 20 cm-diameter cylinders with soil bulk densities ranging from 1.2 to 1.7 g cm−3 at the 0–20 cm depth (equivalent to 0.8 to 2.4 MPa soil strength measured with a soil penetrometer). Relative leaf expansion rate (RLER) decreased linearly with increasing soil strength. Smaller plant size in compacted treatments was due not only to slower expansion rates, but also smaller maximum size of individual leaves. Sensitivity of leaf expansion to soil strength was best illustrated by a reduction in RLER and maximum size of the first leaf to emerge in a treatment with only the lower 10–20 cm of the profile compacted (bulk density of 1.7 g cm−3). Root growth was less affected than shoot growth by compaction and root:shoot ratios of compacted treatments were significantly higher than the control. Soil compaction had no significant effect on pre-dawn or midday leaf water potential, osmotic potential or leaf turgor. Specific leaf weight was usually higher in plants grown on compacted soil, and leaf nitrogen and photosynthesis per unit leaf area were either unaffected by treatment or significantly higher in compacted treatments. The results suggest that early growth reduction of sunflower plants grown on compacted soil was more sink- than source-limited with regard to water, nitrogen, and carbon supply. Further evaluation of this hypothesis will require verification that these whole-leaf measurements provided a sufficiently accurate approximation of treatment effects on the dynamic equilibria of expanding cells.

    Keywords: Myriophyllum aquaticum ; parrotfeather ; nitrogen ; phosphorus ; mass flow
    Source: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000
    Topics: Biology
    Notes: Abstract The contribution of sediment interstitial water and the water column to the transpiration stream of Myriophyllum aquaticum (Vellozo) Verdcourt was determined to estimate the significance of mass flow in supply of sediment nutrients for plant growth. Sediment interstitial water accounted for about 2% of the water transpired over a 37 day period. Because of the small volume of water that originated in the sediment we concluded that mass flow did not significantly enhance nutrient supply to the roots of M. aquaticum. Relative growth rate (RGR) of adventitious, water roots was greater than whole plant RGR, and RGR of sediment roots was not significantly different from zero, indicating a shift in the biomass allocation after emergence of the apical meristem into the air. Water use, measured by the transpiration coefficient, averaged 260 ml H2O mg DW-1, which is similar to C-4 terrestrial plants. M. aquaticum has leaf characteristics commonly associated with xerophytic habitats. These characteristics may be necessary if a high transpiration rate and a mechanical requirement for high cell turgor pressure, required by a reliance upon hydrostatic pressure for support of the aerial stems, are mutually exclusive because of morphological constraints on hydraulic conductivity.

    Notes: Abstract We determined the effects of nutrient amendments on plant growth in three tropical montane rainforest sites representing a sequence of soil ages (〈 30, 200, and ≈ 2000 y). Factorial fertilization with nitrogen, phosphorus, and all other essential nutrients (combined) was applied to the two younger sites; only nitrogen was applied to the oldest one. Nitrogen supply represented the most important limitation to plant growth in the two younger sites; additions of nitrogen caused significant increases in tree diameter increment, height growth, litterfall, and most other growth-related parameters. In contrast, nitrogen additions had no significant effect on plant growth in the oldest site. Phosphorus additions increased extractable soil phosphorus and plant tissue phosphorus, but did not increase plant growth at the young sites. The results are consistent with Walker & Syers' (1976) model for the control of nutrient limitation during soil development.
