e0“Boron (B) (18.5 μM) and zinc (Zn) (0.5 μM) were supplied to all solution treatments, in addition to 2000 μM Ca, after preliminary studies at pH 5.2 without Al indicated that their omission inhibited length of tap roots and their laterals in the subsurface compartment.”

Other claims from this paper (10)
- Intervention effect Hydrogen inhibited lateral-root length more than tap-root length.
- Intervention effect Aluminum inhibited lateral-root length more than tap-root length.
- Intervention effect Lateral roots failed to develop at pH below 4.3.
- Intervention effect Lateral roots failed to develop with 30 μM aluminum.
- Association Relative tap-root length correlated with ferron-reactive aluminum among aluminum treatments.
- Association Ferron-reactive aluminum correlated strongly with predicted Al3+ activity.
- Intervention effect Al3+ activity of 2.1 μM reduced relative tap-root length by 50%.
- Intervention effect Ferron-reactive aluminum of 4.9 uM reduced relative tap-root length by 50%.
- Intervention effect Shoot biomass did not differ among solution treatments.
- Intervention effect Soil-root biomass did not differ among solution treatments.
