fifteen kinds of local wetland plants in taihu lake region of china were investigated on their respective growth conditions, biomass allocations and nutrient uptake capacities. the test plants were cultured in 3 l nutrient solutions for 28 days with nh4 +-n, no3 --n and p concentrations of 38.5, 132.8 and 10 mg/l, respectively. mean species total biomass ranged from 1.2-21.6 g/plant with above/...

Drought is a serious environmental stress limiting growth and productivity in peanut and other crops. Nutrient uptake of peanut is reduced under drought condition, which reduces yield. The objectives of this study were to investigate nutrient uptake of peanut genotypes in response to drought and to estimate the relationship between nutrient uptake and peanut yield under different water regi...

this study was carried out in order to evaluate the changes of nitrogen, phosphor and potassium uptake by wheat and remaining of them in soil under foliar application of leonardite and foliar application of n and k. the experiment was conducted in gorgan university of agricultural sciences and natural resources during 2013- 2014. the experiment was laid out a using split-plot arrangement based ...

to study the effect of nitrogen form and ph of nutrient solution on the uptake and concentration of fe, zn, cu and mn in roots and shoots of spinach plant, a factorial experiment was conducted with two factors including nutrient solution ph in three levels (4.5, 6.5 and 8.0) and nitrate to ammonium ratio of nutrient solution in five levels (100:0, 75:25, 50:50, 25:75 and 0:100). the experiment ...

Pistachio is one of the economically important horticultural crops in Iran. The main pistachio-producing areas in Iran are located at the edge of the desert and are affected by soil and water salinity. Water and nutrient uptake by the root decreases under saline conditions. In this study, the effects of foliar growth regulators applied at different times on the nutrient uptake and leaf nutrient...

Nutrient uptake length is an important parameter for quantifying nutrient cycling in streams. Although nutrient tracer additions are the preferred method for measuring uptake length under ambient nutrient concentrations, short-term nutrient addition experiments have more frequently been used to estimate uptake length in streams. Theoretical analysis of the relationship between uptake length det...

A recent trial found that the presence of coarse soil in fine soil increased nutrient uptake by two plant species (Smaill et al., 2014). To determine if the additional nutrient uptake was derived directly from the coarse soil, the changes in coarse soil nutrient stocks were assessed. In most cases nutrient stocks increased, despite being associated with greater plant nutrient uptake. This sugge...

We studied nutrient uptake in relation to water chemistry, stream hydrodynamics, and ecosystem metabolism in two eutrophic lowland streams located near Berlin, Germany. Ambient nutrient uptake rates ranged from 0.180 to 12.880 g NO3-N m22 d21, from 0.035 to 0.517 g NH4-N m22 d21, and from 0.017 to 0.750 g PO4-P m22 d21. Temporal and spatial variability in nutrient uptake rates within single str...
