    Notes: Abstract Present methods for determining critical nutrient concentrations in plants and soils are unsatisfactory if concentrations change with time while the crop is growing. In such cases the critical concentration can only be applied in relation to growth rate at any given moment. For interpreting field experiments this introduces considerable difficulties: two possible approaches to these problems are suggested, one of which uses a simple simulation model. Results from a Brussels sprout nitrogen experiment are used to show how, using this approach, a single critical sap nitrate concentration (380 mg NO3 N.l−1 for 95% of potential growth rate) may serve to explain the results at all growth stages in three seasons.

    Notes: Abstract Critical plant concentrations for a reduction in relative growth rate to 90% of that of fully nourished plants were estimated by a novel method for several mineral nutrients. Carrot plants were grown from seed for 28 days in a range of nutrient solutions omitting N, P, K, Ca, S, Mg, Fe, B, Mn, Zn, Cu and Mo as separate treatments. All treatments except -Mn, -Zn, -Cu and -Mo resulted in effects on plant growth and the development of deficiency symptoms. Estimates of critical concentrations were based on a simple simulation model incorporating the principle of nutrient dilution with increasing plant weight and on mineral analysis of the plants. Parameters governing the shape of the relationship between fractional relative growth rate and plant nutrient concentration were altered until the model predicted the observed final mean dry weight of deficient plants and time of divergence of this growth curve from that of fully nourished plants. Critical concentrations so obtained were higher than those previously reported for Ca, Fe, N and P in carrots and lower for K, Mg and S.

    Notes: Summary Several authors are advocating the use of the SO4−S/total S ratio in the plant as the best index of S status. We have traced the arguments put forward in support of this index, and we show that they are based either on unfair comparisons with other indices, such as SO4−S or total S alone, or inappropriate statistical treatment. The SO4−S/total S index has two fundamental disadvantages compared with SO4−S or total S alone: (1) the numerator (SO4−S) is the major variable in the denominator, so the ratio is likely to be less sensitive than either of the measurements alone; (2) its determination involves twice as much analytical work as either measurement alone. Examination of some of the source references indicates that SO4−S by itself is the most satisfactory S index. Whenever whole plants are analysed, any index which includes organic S is subject to variation due to tissue age.
