This book was released on 1983 with total page 103 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The effects of different soil moisture condition on growth of four seed legumes, viz. mungbean (Vigna radiata L.) variety CES 1D-21, cowpea (Vigna unguiculata L.) variety EG-2, soybean (Glycine max L.) variety UPL Sy2 and peanut (Arachis hypogeae) variety Kidang were evaluated at the IRRI Experiment Station, Los Banos, Laguna under five water regimes using a line source spinkler irrigation system. Three systems of planting as subplots were included in the study. The results show that moisture stress greatly reduced the yield of the four seed legumes, the greatest being with mungbean (83%), with cowpea and soybean (65%) and peanut (46%). Dry matter production decreased significantly with increasing distance from the line source in all four crops. Dry matter yield was in the following order: cowpea (3,399 kg/ha) > peanut (3,050 kg/ha) > soybean (2,660 kg/ha) > mungbean (1,517 kg/ha). Macro- and micro-nutrient uptake follow this general pattern: N > K > Ca > Mg > P and Mn > Zn > Cu, respectively. High N, P, K, Mg, Zn and Cu uptake and low Ca and Mn Uptake were found in the pod fraction. Ca and Mn uptake remained in the leaf fraction. Crop differences in the total nutrient uptake were observed with moisture stress. The least nutrient uptake was exhibited by mungbean followed by soybean, peanut and cowpea in all of which nutrient uptake decreased significantly with moisture stress. Reduction in nutrient uptake due to stress was greatest in cowpea followed by mungbean, then by soybean and least in peanut. These...

Download or read book Nutrient Use Efficiency in Plants written by Malcolm J. Hawkesford and published by Springer. This book was released on 2014-11-14 with total page 287 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nutrient Use Efficiency in Plants: Concepts and Approaches is the ninth volume in the Plant Ecophysiology series. It presents a broad overview of topics related to improvement of nutrient use efficiency of crops. Nutrient use efficiency (NUE) is a measure of how well plants use the available mineral nutrients. It can be defined as yield (biomass) per unit input (fertilizer, nutrient content). NUE is a complex trait: it depends on the ability to take up the nutrients from the soil, but also on transport, storage, mobilization, usage within the plant, and even on the environment. NUE is of particular interest as a major target for crop improvement. Improvement of NUE is an essential pre-requisite for expansion of crop production into marginal lands with low nutrient availability but also a way to reduce use of inorganic fertilizer.
