Leaf nutrition and photosynthetic performance of sugar maple (Acer saccharum Marsh.) were compared between two sugar maple stands in northwestern Vermont with contrasting health conditions as indicated by annual basal area growth, degree of crown dieback, and foliar appearance. Observations made during the diurnal cycle of both stands showed no apparent leaf water stress. In both stands, leaves...

The avocado grower is usually familiar with deficiency symptoms such as those caused by lack of sufficient iron (3), zinc (11), and nitrogen (4). Also excesses of certain elements produce characteristic symptoms which may be readily identified, e. g. chloride and sodium (2, 9). However, little information is available concerning the remaining elements absorbed by the tree, their symptoms along ...

Iron is an important micronutrient in human and plant nutrition. Adequate iron nutrition during crop production is central for assuring appropriate iron concentrations in the harvestable organs, for human food or animal feed. The whole-plant movement of iron involves several processes, including the reduction of ferric to ferrous iron at several locations throughout the plant, prior to transmem...

Nutrient (N) stress affects cotton growth, primary physiological processes andfiber properties. This study utilized two sunlit growth chambers to compare cotton(cv. TM-1) responses to two levels of N nutrition imposed at the onset of floweringstage of development, 100 and 0% of optimum N, in plants grown under otherwiseoptimal temperature and soil moisture conditions. Flowers and bolls were tag...

Guzmania lingulata (L.) Mez. ‘Cherry’ plants were grown in coconut husk chips. All plants were given 8 mM nitrogen (N), 2 mM phosphorus (P), 4 mM calcium (Ca), and 1 mM magnesium (Mg) at each irrigation with potassium (K) concentration at 0, 2, 4, or 6 mM. After 9 months, K concentration did not alter the number of new leaves, and shoot and root dry weights. Increasing K concentration did not a...
