Nutrient distribution in flowering stems, nutrient removal and fertilization of three proteaceae cultivars

Nutrient Distribution in Flowering Stems, Nutrient Removal and Fertilization of Three Proteaceae Cultivars

Several parameters of flowering stems of two cultivars of protea Leucospermum cordifolium (Knight) Fourc (‘Succession II’ and ‘Tango’) and one of protea Protea L. (Protea susannae x magnifica ‘Susara’) were studied in different commercial plantations. These included length and weight measures, nutrient concentrations of detached parts (flower heads, leaves and stems), and removal of nutrients o...

Nutrient Removal from Leachate

Remediation of the City of Zagreb Jakusevec Dump Site, one of the largest dump sites in Europe, is in progress. Experimental laboratory results of leach­ ate treatment using aquatic macrophytes show that increasing the concentra­ tion of ammonia in the leachate decreases elimination efficiency. In all series of experiments, significantly greater elimination of ammonia and orthophos­ phates has ...

The response of three Leucadendron cultivars (Proteaceae) to phosphorus levels

The objective of this study was to compare the growth of three Leucadendrons (Proteaceae) cultivars (`Safari Sunset', `Orot' and `Meir') fertigated with three levels of P. The plants were grown in tuff (pyroclastic material, characterized by high porosity) in 10 l pots and fertigated daily. The experiment included control treatment (plants irrigated with tap water) and three levels of P (0, 10 ...

Nutrient removal from farm effluents.

The objectives of the study were: (i) to examine the efficiency of nutrient removal during the treatment of dairy farm effluent in a two-pond system, and (ii) to produce an inexpensive but effective nutrient trap which could be recycled as a nutrient source or soil mulch. The concentration of chemical oxygen demand (COD), biological oxygen demand (BOD), nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) and potassiu...
