Abstract
The differen tial response of crop growth to light intensity and N levels was studied in a controlle d environm ent and under field condition s for two growing seasons in 1967 and 1968.When N03-N and NH4N03 were used respectiv ely in the controlle d environm ent and field studies, the rates of increase in response of vegetativ e corn growth to N increased with higher light levels.The resulting shadingx N interacti on on growth under field condition s was consiste nt in both years.Reductio n of N0 3 -N in the leaf and reduction of N02-N in the stalk were found to control the differen tial response of N uptake to shading and N levels.Water insoluble protein-N fraction of the leaf and stalk and NH 4 -N fraction of the leaf parallele d total N uptake in response to shading and N levels.After shade removal, light appeared to be critical on the shading-N effect during the vegetativ e period on subseque nt stover and grain yields.The differen tial response of grass and alfalfa in a mixture to shading and N, however, depended on their competit ion for light at low and high N levels.Percentage and dry matter yie1d of a1fa1fa in grass-a1fa1fa mixture (1967) 112 Total N uptake by grass and a1fa1fa in the mixture (1967Effects of artificia1 shading on nitrification, sail moisture 1eve1s, air and sail temperatures (1967 and 1968)Total dry matter yie1d of grass-1egume mixture ......
