Germination and emergence of corn (Zea mays, L) as a function of soil physical parameters

Creator:

Sanchez, Ramon M.

Abstract:

Rates of germination and emergence of corn were measured as influenced by soil physical parameters using blotter paper and a sandy loam soil as growth media. The corn seeds used were a hybrid of Funk's (DJ7xLH93). Experimental conditions were soil temperature of 20°C, 25°C, 30°C, and 35°C, soil water potential...

Soil physical conditions and nitrogen fixation of soybeans (Glycine max. Merrill, var. Chippewa 64)

Creator:

Kuo, Tsungmin

Abstract:

The effect of soil water suction and soil temperature on rates of transpiration, photosynthesis, respiration and nitrogen fixation of soybean (Glycine max. Merrill, var. Chippewa 64) seedlings was studied. A special apparatus was developed in which the soil water suction of several cells with soybeans growing in them could be...
