Pearl Millet Growth as Affected by Phosphorus and Water
The interaction of soiil water and P supply is of paramount importance to pearl millet [Penniseturn gluucum (L.) R. Br.] growth in Sahelian Africa due to unreliable rainfall and low soil P availability. This study was conducted to quantify the growth response of pe:ul millet to water supply and P under conditions analogous to the Saliel in terms of climatle and soil. Millet was grown for 84 d i...
متن کاملRuzigrass affecting soil‐phosphorus availability
The objective of this work was to evaluate the effectiveness of ruzigrass (Urochloa ruziziensis) in enhancing soil‐P availability in areas fertilized with soluble or reactive rock phosphates. The area had been cropped for five years under no‐till, in a system involving soybean, triticale/black‐oat, and pearl millet. Previously to the five‐year cultivation period, corrective phosphorus fertiliza...

متن کاملMechanisms of starvation tolerance in pearl millet.
The response of pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum [L.]) seedlings to prolonged starvation was investigated at the biochemical and ultrastructural level. After 2 days of darkness the bulk of the seedling carbohydrate reserves were depleted. After 8 days in the dark the respiratory rate had declined to less than 50% of its initial value and the plants had lost half of their total protein content. ...
متن کاملLeaf and soil nitrogen and phosphorus availability in a neotropical rain forest of nutrient-rich soil.
The nitrogen and phosphorus supply in a lowland rain forest with a nutrient-rich soil was investigated by means of the leaf N/P quotient. It was hypothesised a high N and P supply to the forest ecosystem with a N and P rich soil. Total N and extractable P were determined in the surface (10 cm) soil of three plots of the forest. Total N was analysed by the Kjeldahl method, and P was extracted wi...
