Other claims from this paper (4)
- Intervention effect Increasing bicarbonate concentration decreased maize shoot and root weight.
- Intervention effect Increasing bicarbonate concentration affected nutrient composition of shoots and roots and nutrient uptake in maize.
- Observation Mineral cation totals exceeded anion totals in maize roots and shoots under each bicarbonate treatment.
- Mechanism The specific effect on maize root and shoot growth may be due to inhibited respiration caused by high bicarbonate levels.
