Chloride Improves Nitrate Utilization and NUE in Plants

Chloride versus nitrate

The antagonism between NO3 and Cl uptake was demonstrated in avocado (Wiesman, 1995; Bar et al, 1997), barley (Smith, 1973; Glass and Siddiqi, 1985), broccoli (Liu and Shelp, 1996), citrus (Chapman and Liebig, 1940; Banuls et al , 1990, 1997; Bar et al , 1997; Cerezo et al , 1997), corn (Imas, 1991), kiwifruit (Smith et al , 1987), melon and lettuce (Feigin, 1985; Wei et al , 1989), groundnut (...

o-Phenyl­enediaminium chloride nitrate

In the title mol-ecular salt, C6H10N2 (2+)·NO3 (-)·Cl(-), the complete cation is generated by a crystallographic mirror plane. The complete nitrate ion is also generated by reflection, with the N atom and one O atom lying on the mirror plane; the chloride ion also lies on the reflection plane. In the crystal, the components are linked by N-H⋯Cl and N-H⋯(N,O) hydrogen bonds, forming (001) layers...

Marine Plants: Production and Utilization

Sequential Potentiometric Determination of Nitrate and Chloride in Vegetables

A rapid and simple sequential potentiometric method is described for the determination of nitrate and chloride ions in vegetables, by using home-made ion selective electrodes. The extraction of both ions from the vegetable samples was effected by magnetic stirring of the samples during 30 min in water at room temperature. Direct Potentiometry was used as analytical technique for measurement. Th...

Utilization of Aquatic Plants

Ecology is the study of environmental systems, or as it is sometimes called, the economy of nature. "Environmental" usually means relating to the natural, versus human-made world; the "systems" means that ecology is, by its very nature, not interested in just the components of nature individually but especially in how the parts interact. Ecology is technically an academic discipline, such asmat...
