1. Starter Effects on Corn Grown on Previously Flooded SoilsThe devastating floods of 1993 prompted a great deal of concern about crop production in those areas the following year. These concerns were prompted both by scientific information (Fixen et al. 1984: Vivekanandan and Fixen, 1991) and by farmer observations from prior flood experience. In response to these concerns. projects, observations. and experiments were undertaken. These included collection of soil samples for chemical analysis in the fall of 1993, observations of corn grown in 1994 on flood... |
2. Effects of Silicon Supplementation on Growth and Silicon Accumulation in Tall Fescue (Festuca arundinacea) and Bentgrass (Agrostis stolonifera)This study assessed the effect of silicon (Si) supplementation on biomass production and Si accumulation of tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea) and bentgrass (Agrostis stolonifera). Plants were grown in buffered Hoagland’s media (pH 6) with four Na2SiO4 treatments (0, 0.5, 1, 2, 4 mM). The two species responded differently to Si supplementation in terms of biomass. For bentgrass, biomass was enhanced by Si supplementation, but only significantly (p... S. Qian, J. Unrine, H. Poffenbarger |
