1. Chemistry of Soil Phosphorus - Agronomic and Environmental ImplicationsTo be available for uptake by crop plants or to stimulate algal growth in a eutrophic environment, P must in a dissolved form. Therefore, in the absence of soil erosion, chemical processes that can transfer phosphate ions from the soil solution to the solid phase can limit P bioavailability and mobility. These processes include exchange, adsorption, and precipitation reactions. This presentation focuses on how local fluctuations in soil water content, solution pH, redox potential, and dissolved... M.

2. Application of the Ceres-maize Model to Maximum Yield ResearchMaximum yields are obtained when as much assimilate as possible is partitioned into the grains of corn. The amount partitioned into the grains depends on several major factors. Grains per unit area is probably the most important of these factors. Other important considerations for grain filling in- clude the duration of the grain filling period, the amount that can be repartitioned from stem storage to the grains, the photo- synthesis rate, and the temperature. Several factors influence the number... |
