FOLIAR NUTRIENT UPTAKE IN CRANBERRY

Foliar Fertilization: Mechanisms and Magnitude of Nutrient Uptake

Foliar fertilization is a widely used method used to supplement soil applications to improve the yield and quality of field crops. However, questions and uncertainty surround this practice. Numerous field trials have clearly demonstrated the uptake of foliar-applied nutrients by leaves and subsequent translocation to the fruit. In cotton, foliar-applied N was rapidly absorbed by the leaf (30% w...

Foliar mineral nutrient uptake in carnivorous plants: what do we know and what should we know?

CARNIVOROUS PLANTS AS ECOLOGICAL GROUP Carnivorous plants (CPs) usually grow in nutrient-poor, wet or aquatic environments and possess foliar traps which capture animal prey (Juniper et al., 1989). There are about 600 terrestrial and 50 aquatic or amphibious species of CPs which supplement the conventional mineral nutrient uptake by roots or shoots from their environment by the absorption of nu...

Foliar heavy metal uptake, toxicity and detoxification in plants: A comparison of foliar and root metal uptake.

Anthropologic activities have transformed global biogeochemical cycling of heavy metals by emitting considerable quantities of these metals into the atmosphere from diverse sources. In spite of substantial and progressive developments in industrial processes and techniques to reduce environmental emissions, atmospheric contamination by toxic heavy metals and associated ecological and health ris...

Nutrient Uptake in Rust Fungi

Nutrient uptake in obligate parasitism was recently reviewed by Bushnell and Gay (5) for the powdery mildews. In the rust fungi, the experimental approach to solving this question is quite different, because the fungus mycelium grows only in restricted areas within the leaf. The rust pustules act as foci for the accumulation of many metabolites. The fungus derives nutrients by alteration of the...
