Title
Absorption and utilization of soluble organic nitrogen in the form ofamino acids in maize plant
S. Lekshmi; V. R. Bhatt Crop Research 2013
Other claims from this paper (8)
- Intervention effect Hoagland solution produced highest foliage yield, root biomass and photosynthesis.
- Intervention effect Amino acids produced 50 to 95% of the dry matter yield obtained with Hoagland solution.
- Observation Amino acid nitrification reached 14 to 30% at 30 days in incubation.
- Mechanism The authors infer direct amino acid absorption by maize.
- Observation Leaf nutrient content and plant uptake were normal regardless of nitrogen source.
- Intervention effect Cystine as sole nitrogen source produced maximum sulphur content.
- Intervention effect Half inorganic nitrogen or a 1% amino acid spray gave no distinct advantage for organic nitrogen utilization.
- Observation A substantial amount of organic nitrogen was absorbed and utilized.
