Salinity is a limiting factor in plant growth. The combination of water high in soluble salts and water-soluble fertilizers can induce salt damage in plants. The objective of this work was to investigate the effects of salinity in irrigation water on optimal fertilization rates in Spathiphyllum `Petite'. The combination of 5 levels of fertilizers and 5 salinity levels were tested. Maximum growth was observed at 250 mg l-1 N and no salts, and with 2000 mg l-1 salts at 125 mg l-1 N. As salt levels increased, height and leaf area decreased. Tissue calcium, sodium, and chloride increased with increasing levels of salinity. Tissue nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium generally increased with increasing levels of fertilizers, and were not affected by salinity level. It is possible that high sodium and chloride concentrations in leaves, petioles, and roots produced an ion toxicity.

Abstract The experiment was a 5 × 5 factorial composed of 5 fertilizer levels and 5 salinity levels applied to Spathiphyllum ‘Petite’. Fertilizer levels were 0, 125, 250, 375 and 500 mg/l (ppm) N from a 24N-3.4P-13.3K (24-8-16) soluble fertilizer. Salinity levels were 0, 500, 1000, 1500 and 2000 mg/l (ppm) from NaCl:CaCl2 in a 1:1 equivalent ratio. Maximum growth was observed at 250 mg/l N and no salts. At the highest salinity level tested (2000 mg/l), maximum growth was observed at 125 mg/l N. Generally, as salinity level increased the measured growth parameters decreased. Leaf calcium, sodium, and chloride increased with increasing levels of salinity in the irrigation water. Leaf nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium generally increased with increasing levels of fertilizer, but were not affected by salinity levels. It is possible that high sodium and chloride concentration in leaves produced an ion toxicity.

Abstract A modification of an inductively coupled plasma (ICP) emission spectrometer is described that enables the simultaneous determination of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium in water-soluble fertilizers. A quartz extension tube is added to the ICP torch to exclude air from the plasma, thus allowing accurate nitrogen determination without adversely affecting sensitivity for other analytes. The modification also requires an 18 mg/L argon coolant flow to protect the tube from the heat of the plasma. Detection limits are 20 mg/L for nitrogen and 50 μg/L for phosphorus and potassium. Three NBS reference salts and 2 commercially available fertilizers were analyzed by the method, and results are in excellent agreement with known values.

Наличие микроэлементов в почвах нашей страны находится в большом дефиците, что не позволяет оправдать биологический потенциал продуктивных показателей основных сельскохозяйственных культур. Цель исследований научное обоснование выбора наиболее эффективного способа применения комплексных жидких удобрений с микроэлементами в хелатной форме для формирования плотности агроценоза, посевных качеств и биохимического состава семян яровой пшеницы. Установлено, что в среднем за два года исследований полевая всхожесть яровой пшеницы на фоне естественного плодородия находилась в пределах 73,8-78,4, а на фоне внесения азофоски она составила 73,6-79,3. Наибольшее количество сохранившихся растений к уборке отмечено как на фоне без внесения удобрений, так и на фоне минерального питания в вариантах с обработкой семян Мегамикс-семена и Мегамикс-Профи в фазы кущения и колошения 386 и 388 растений на 1 м2. Микроэлементные удобрения оказали влияние на массу 1000 семян, энергию прорастания, лабораторную всхожесть и силу роста. При выращивании данной культуры на фоне внесения N16P16K16 масса 1000 семян увеличилась на 10,1 по вариантам опыта, энергия прорастания 9,4, лабораторная всхожесть на 6,9, масса 100 ростков на 17, а длина ростка 18,9. Биохимический состав зерна показывает запас питательных элементов: белка, азота, фосфора и калия, наибольшее количество которых накопилось в зерне яровой пшеницы, выращенной при обработке семян и посевов удобрениями Мегамикс-семена и Мегамикс-Профи .There is a great shortage of trace elements in the soils of our country, which does not justify the biological potential of the productive indicators of the main crops. The research objective is the scientific substantiation of the choice of the most effective way of applying complex liquid fertilizers with microelements in chelated form to form the density of agrocenosis, seedlings qualities and biochemical composition of spring wheat seeds. It was established that, on average, over two years of research, the field germination of spring wheat against the background of natural fertility was in the range of 73.8-78.4, and against the background of the application of nitrogen-phosphorus-potassium fertilizer it amounted to 73.6-79.3. The largest number of plants remained for harvesting was noted both against the background without fertilizer application and against the background of mineral nutrition in the variants with seed treatment with Megamix-seeds and Megamix-Profi in the tillering and heading stages - 386 and 388 plants per 1 m2. Micronutrient fertilizers influenced the weight of 1000 seeds, germination energy, laboratory germination and growth power. When growing this crop against the background of N16P16K16 application, the weight of 1000 seeds increased by 10.1 according to the experimental variants, germination energy - 9.4, laboratory germination by 6.9, weight of 100 sprouts - by 17, and sprout length - 18.9. The biochemical composition of the grain shows a supply of the following nutrients: protein, nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, the largest amount of which was accumulated in spring wheat grain grown during the treatment of seeds and crops with fertilizers Megamix-seeds and Megamix-Profi.

Field experiments were conducted at Agricultural College and Research Institute, Coimbatore during August to February of 2011-12 and 2012-13 to study the effect of drip irrigation, fertigation levels and frequencies on seed yield and nutrient uptake of pigeonpea. Three fertilizer levels (75 %, 100 % and 125 % recommended dose fertilizer (RDF) through water soluble fertilizer and conventional fertilizers), three irrigation levels (50 % computed water requirement of crop (WRc), 75 % WRc and 100 % WRc) and surface irrigation (IW/CPE ratio 0.6 with 100 per cent RDF through conventional fertilizer) were included as treatments in this study. Application of 100 per cent of RDF (WSF) once in 7 days along with 100 % WRc (T9) recorded significantly higher uptake of total nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium. The lowest plant nutrient uptake was recorded by surface irrigation with application of 100 % RDF (T14) applied as basal. The results revealed that application of nutrients through fertigation once in seven days with 125 % RDF (WSF) + irrigation 100 % WRc recorded higher total nutrient uptake (nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium) than surface irrigation with conventional fertilizer.
