Effects of solution pH on the growth and chemical composition of rice plants

Rice plants were grown in solution culture for a period of five weeks at pH's ranging from 3.5 to 8.5. Maximum dry matter was obtained at pH 5.5, but substantial reductions in the growth of tops and roots were observed at pH's of 3.5 and 8.5. At pH 3.5, both leaves and roots were short and unhealthy. The roots were thickened with lateral root growth severely inhibited. At pH 8.5, the youngest leaves developed chlorotic symptoms with roots being coarse and discoloured.

Plant concentrations of essential elements were adequate for normal plant growth at pH 5.5. Iron concentration in plant tops substantially decreased with increase in solution pH, but a reverse trend was observed for roots. The concentrations of other elements progressively increased in plant tops and roots with increasing pH.     

Method for the estimation of nutrient uptake kinetic parameters using nonparametric statistics

The uptake of many plant nutrients has been shown to follow Michaelis‐Menten enzyme kinetics, and as a result several methods of collecting and analyzing uptake data have been developed. The method proposed here consists of a continuously flowing hydroponic system and a method of data analysis that estimates a value of K_mand V_max for each plant. The method is nondestructive; it does not require large amounts of space; and the plants are near steady‐state uptake. In simulated experiments with various assumptions about variability in the data, the nonparametric statistical analysis of the results provided estimates as good as or better than regression analysis estimates of the two parameters of the Michaelis‐Menten equation.     

Variable rate fertilizer application for corn and soybean

Some have argued that variable rate application (VRT) of fertilizer is appropriate and profitable for the highly productive and fertile fields of the central cornbelt, but the proposition has not been tested. In this field experiment treatments of variably and uniformly applied phosphorus (P) and potassium (K) fertilizer and a control treatment with no P or K fertilizer were applied in a randomized complete block design at six locations in central Illinois in 1994. Individual experimental units were from 1,000 to 1,500 m in length and about 20 m in width. Fertilizer application rate was based upon a 100 m grid soil sampling. The variable rate treatment rate for each plot was based upon interpolated values of the soil fertility of each portion of the experimental unit. Uniform rate treatments were based upon the median soil fertility value for the entire field. Yield estimates were obtained with grain yield monitors. Neither corn nor soybean yield was significantly affected by fertilizer application treatment. We propose this lack of an effect is due to insurance built into the current fertility recommendations. A response to variable treatments will not be seen if there is no response to fertilization. Variable rate application will probably be most useful in fields with areas of very low soil tests.     

Nitrate/ammonium ratio effects on nutrient solution pH,dry matter yield,and nitrogen uptake of sorghum 1

Abstract

Sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench] seedlings were grown in nutrient solutions in a growth chamber to investigate the effects of different ratios of NO₃ ^– and NH₄ ⁺ on nutrient solution pH, dry matter yield, and N uptake. Nutrient solutions and plant tissues were assayed throughout the time plants grew in the nutrient solutions.

Nutrient solution pH depended on source of N. The pH rose to near 8 with NO₃ ^– as the sole source of N and decreased to near or below 4 with NH₄ ⁺ added to the solutions. Upon depletion of NH₄ ⁺ from solution, pH values rose abruptly to near 8 and remained near this value throughout the duration of the experiments. Dry matter yield was generally higher for plants grown with some NH₄ ⁺ compared to plants grown with NO₃ ^– alone. Nitrogen uptake was generally higher in plants grown with the higher proportions of NH₄ ⁺. Nitrogen concentrations remained unchanged with plant age as NO₃ ^–/ NH₄ ⁺ ratio varied. For solutions low in NH₄ ⁺, N concentrations in roots increased with plant age. Severe Fe deficiency appeared in plants when solution pH reached and remained above 7.

An Investigation of Aquaponics Using Brackish Water Resources in the Negev Desert

An aquaponics system using the brackish waters of the Negev (conductivity approximately 4500 μS/cm) is described. Tilapia sp. were grown with a variety of vegetables, herbs, and other plants within three systems within an aquaculture hothouse: a brackish water floating raft system, a brackish water gravel system, and a fresh water floating raft system. Water quality remained adequate within all systems for plant growth and fish health. Growth rates for fish were low, averaging about 1.4 g/day. Standing stock of fish at harvest was 12.5 kg/m³. Plants required the addition of iron chelate to contend with chlorosis and some macro- and micronutrients seem to have been in short supply.
