A sand-culture experiment with lettuces is described, having as its principal purpose the study of the relationship between the potential responses of plants to applications of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium fertilizers and the composition of. their foliage. Plants were supplied initially with five levels of these nutrients in all combinations, samples of plant material were taken fot analysis at various stages of development, and at 44 days from sowing additional quantities of nutrients were supplied to some of the cultures in order that their response potentialities might be determined. The present paper analyses the effects of the nutrient interactions on plant dry weight, further results being left to subsequent papers.

Lettuce plants grown in sand culture, and receiving nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium at five levels in all combinations, were analysed at different stages of growth for total, soluble, and nitrate nitrogen. An attempt was made to relate these analytical data to the subsequent response (in dry matter production) shown by the plants when a further amount of nitrogen was supplied.

Nitrogen Phosphorus

Wheat plants (CV. Gamenya) were deprived of nitrogen, phosphorus, or potassium at several stages of development. Starvation for only two weeks affected the growth rate at early stages, but not at later stages, and had no effect on dry-weight of the ear. Continuous starvation for any of the nutrients at any stage up to ear emergence reduced the weight of inflorescence, the reduction being greater the earlier starvation occurred. Starvation of any of the three nutrients after ear emergence had no effect on dry-weight. Potassium starvation before joitning prevented stem elongation more than starvations for nitrogen or phosphorus.

Abstract:Leaf litter is an important source of nutrients to tropical forest trees, but its importance for understorey seedling growth is not well understood. Seedlings of Licania platypus (n = 190) and Coussarea curvigemmia (n = 304) were transplanted into deeply shaded forest plots in Panama having received 2 y of litter addition or removal and 7 y of fertilization with nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium combined, and their growth and foliar nutrients measured after 13 and 6 mo respectively. Licania platypus growing in litter addition and removal plots had faster height growth and slower leaf growth respectively than in control plots; C. curvigemmia showed no significant effects apart from lower survival in litter addition plots. These effects may be driven by soil nutrients, as suggested by differences in foliar nitrogen and potassium (but not phosphorus) concentrations, and by a pot experiment in a shadehouse using Ochroma pyramidale seedlings, which showed higher leaf area in soils from litter-addition plots, although seedling dry weight was higher only in fertilized soils. Overall, these results show that for one of two species, understorey seedling growth was increased by 2 y of doubled litterfall, and thus that they were probably nutrient limited even in the relatively fertile soils of this semi-deciduous tropical forest.

Douglas fir and Sitka spruce seedlings were grown in sand culture under controlled mineral nutrient conditions. Nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium supply levels were varied one nutrient at a time in three separate experiments. The relative growth rate (RGR) of Sitka spruce was found to be higher than that of Douglas fir at high levels of N and K supply, although in all treatments the total dry matter production of Douglas fir was greater than that of Sitka spruce after 95 days. At low levels of P supply the RGR of Douglas fir was greater than that of Sitka spruce.Effects of treatment on RGR were apparently achieved mainly by their effect on net assimilation rate, but leaf weight ratio also showed a small, and significant, response to treatment.

SUMMARYStudies of the relationship between yield and content of N, P and K in the ear leaf of eight varieties of Nigerian maize, tested for three growing seasons, indicated that the varieties have different critical nutrient levels, although the values obtained for individual varieties were not significantly different from the pooled average critical level for any of the nutrients. The critical levels ranged from 2·85 to 3·19% N, 0·20 to 0·27% P and 2·06 to 2·60% K, while their pooled averages were 3·10% N, 0·23% P and 2·44% K.High ear leaf nutrient content was not a guarantee of high grain yield, and ear leaf nutrient values of low-yielding varieties were similar to those of the high-yielding varieties.
