Physiological Studies in Plant Nutrition

Isotopes in Soil-plant Nutrition Studies

Study of soil characteristics and of processes by which plants take up nutrients from the soil is therefore extremely valuable in devising effective methods of farming. For example, such study can determine which fertilizer and how much of it should be applied to a particular soil, or when and how it should be applied. Similarly, a study of soil moisture can indicate the exact irrigation needs ...

Bt176 corn in poultry nutrition: physiological characteristics and fate of recombinant plant DNA in chickens.

A genetically modified Bt176 corn hybrid, which contains an insecticidal protein against the European corn borer, and its conventional, nonmodified counterpart were evaluated in 4 separate trials to verify substantial equivalence in feeding value and animal performance. Thirty-six individually kept laying hens and 3 replicates of 94 broiler chickens each, assigned to 12 cages, were fed 2 differ...

Grand Challenges in Plant Nutrition

As a scientific discipline, plant nutrition stands on two legs. One leg is anchored in plant physiology and explains the fundamental processes underlying and regulating the acquisition, allocation, and utilization of mineral elements in plants. The other leg is deeply rooted in an applied, problem oriented context, explaining the use and action of fertilizers and the cycling of mineral elements...
