Four surface and three subsurface horizons of agriculturally
important Oregon soils were exposed to excessive volumes of anhydrous
ammonia and reequilibrated with the atmosphere for several
time periods prior to extraction with water. The carbon solubilized
was determined by a modified wet combustion technique. Nitrogen
in the soils, extracts, and...
The effects of soil temperature and soil water suction on the
uptake of calcium, magnesium, and potassium by wheat (Triticum
aestivum VILL., Host) were studied. Companion studies on uptake of
nitrogen and phosphorus provided background for discussion of the
results. Plants were grown in perlite slabs separated from an
osmotic...
