Vanadium and Plant Nutrition

Mycorrhizal Fungi and Plant Nutrition

The term “mycorrhiza” was coined by A. B. Frank, a scientist in Germany, more than 100 years ago. It literally means fungus-root, and describes the mutualistic association existing between a group of soil fungi and higher plants. The association is based on the plant component providing carbohydrates and other essential organic compounds to the fungi. In return, the fungal component, which colo...

Effect of vanadium on plant growth and its accumulation in plant tissues

Hydroponic experiments were conducted to investigate vanadium uptake by Chinese green mustard and tomato plants and its effect on their growth. Twenty-eight (Chinese green mustard) and 79 days (tomato) after germination, the plants were exposed for a further seven days to a solution containing six different concentrations of ammonium metavanadate (0-80 mg/l NH4VO3). The vanadium accumulated in ...

Grand Challenges in Plant Nutrition

As a scientific discipline, plant nutrition stands on two legs. One leg is anchored in plant physiology and explains the fundamental processes underlying and regulating the acquisition, allocation, and utilization of mineral elements in plants. The other leg is deeply rooted in an applied, problem oriented context, explaining the use and action of fertilizers and the cycling of mineral elements...
