A special apparatus was developed in which the soil moisture
levels of several soil cells could be maintained independently by
various osmotic solutions at a selected temperature. The effect of
four soil moisture suctions and four soil temperatures on the rates
of transpiration, photosynthesis and respiration of monterey pine
seedlings...
The effect of soil temperature and soil water suction on the rate
of phosphorus uptake and growth rate of wheat (Triticum aestivum
VILL. ,
Host) was studied.
Plants were grown in perlite slabs
separated from an osmotic solution by a semi-permeable membrane.
Measurements were made at temperatures of 10.0, 18.3,...
The usefulness of preplant nitrogen (N) in establishing
alfalfa in colder production areas has not been
well characterized. This study was conducted to determine
the effect of preplant N and soil temperature on
yield, percent N derived from biological nitrogen fixation
(PBNF), and shoot N concentration in alfalfa (Medicago
sativa...
