The Impact

The impact of nutrient addition on growth and nutrient accumulation in Drosera rotundifolia was studied in a field population. Experiments were performed by exclosing insects and (or) adding phosphorus and (or) nitrogen to soil. Drosera rotundifolia did not significantly benefit from insect capture nutritionally or energetically in native or nutritionally enhanced soils. Added nutrients to the soil or supplemental foliar insect feeding decreased phosphorus retention in hibernacula by 50%. Nutrient additions reduced D. rotundifolia vegetative growth in both N and P addition treatments. In addition, allocation to reproduction (inflorescences) decreased by 98% when N was added to the soil. Phosphorus retention in hibernacula was especially high in plots in which no nutrients were added via the soil or by insect applications. Although not statistically significant, flower stalk density and floral biomass were greater where insects were available to plants. The data from this study indicate that insectivory has little impact on growth of field grown D. rotundifolia. This species is adapted to low nutrient availability and nutrient enhancement reduces growth. Indices of nutrient retention suggest that phosphorus is conserved more than nitrogen and therefore may be an important limiting nutrient. Key words: insectivory, nitrogen, phosphorus, sundew.

P Retention

One of the key factors in phosphorus management is the P retention capacity (PRC) of the soil. In our previous study, we formulated several equations for estimating the phosphorus retention capacity of Manitoba soils. The objectives of the current study were to evaluate these equations using independent soil samples and to evaluate the influence of manure application on the predictive ability of these equations. Forty representative surface soil samples (20 soils with history of manure application and 20 without manure application history) were collected from across Manitoba. The P retention index (P150) and Langmuir adsorption maximum (Smax) were determined in the laboratory. The measured P retention capacities were then compared with those estimated using the formulated equations. Surprisingly, P150, which was obtained from a single measurement, was more robust than Smax that was obtained from at least 17 measurements as the equations provided a better estimate of P150 than Smax. Equations that were based on soil particle sizes (either percent clay or percent sand) provided poor estimates of soil PRC for the whole soil collection. However, when the soils were grouped on a pH basis, soil particle size worked better for soils with pH <7 than for soils with pH ≥7. The equations also worked better for soils with pH similar to those of the soils that were used to formulate the P retention equations. The accuracy of the predicted P sorption capacity improved with the manured soils due to the direct influence of manure application on soil properties that influence P retention such as Ca and Mg. Overall, the combination of CaM3, MgM3 and AlOx provided the best estimate of the PRC of Manitoba soils.

Crop Residue Decomposition

Some crop species could be used inside a cropping system as part of a strategy to increase soil P availability due to their capacity to recycle P and shift the equilibrium between soil P fractions to benefit the main crop. The release of P by crop residue decomposition, and mobilization and uptake of otherwise recalcitrant P are important mechanisms capable of increasing P availability and crop yields.
