Plant Analysis for Nutrient Assay of Natural Waters (Classic Reprint)


Book Description

Excerpt from Plant Analysis for Nutrient Assay of Natural Waters Application of the plant analysis technique in evaluating nutrient supplies for aquatic plants would require establishing in laboratory experiments the critical concentration for each potentially growth-limiting essential element in the plant species of interest. The same species then would be collected from lakes and streams, analyzed for various elements, and the concentrations compared with the critical levels. If a plant from the field contains less than the critical concentration of an element, the supply of that element was limiting growth in the environ ment from which the plant was collected. More growth would result if greater amounts of the nutrient could be absorbed. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Handbook of Plant Nutrition


Book Description

The burgeoning demand on the world food supply, coupled with concern over the use of chemical fertilizers, has led to an accelerated interest in the practice of precision agriculture. This practice involves the careful control and monitoring of plant nutrition to maximize the rate of growth and yield of crops, as well as their nutritional value.




Handbook of Reference Methods for Plant Analysis


Book Description

The Handbook of Reference Methods for Plant Analysis is an outstanding resource of plant analysis procedures, outlined in easy-to-follow steps and laboratory-ready for implementation. Plant laboratory preparation methods such as dry ashing and acid and microwave digestion are discussed in detail. Extraction techniques for analysis of readily soluble elements (petiole analysis) and quick test kits for field testing are also presented. This handbook consolidates proven, time tested methods in one convenient source. Plant scientists in production agriculture, forestry, horticulture, environmental sciences, and other related disciplines will find the Handbook a standard laboratory reference. The Handbook was written for the Soil and Plant Analysis Council, Inc., of which the editor is a board member. The council aims to promote uniform soil test and plant analysis methods, use, interpretation, and terminology; and to stimulate research on the calibration and use of soil testing and plant analysis. This reference will help readers reach these important goals in their own research.




Methods of Seawater Analysis


Book Description

Since the book first appeared in 1976, Methods of Seawater Analysis has found widespread acceptance as a reliable and detailed source of information. Its second extended and revised edition published in 1983 reflected the rapid pace of instrumental and methodological evolution in the preceding years. The development has lost nothing of its momentum, and many methods and procedures still suffering their teething troubles then have now matured into dependable tools for the analyst. This is especially evident for trace and ultra-trace analyses of organic and inorganic seawater constituents which have diversified considerably and now require more space for their description than before. Methods to determine volatile halocarbons, dimethyl sulphide, photosynthetic pigments and natural radioactive tracers have been added as well as applications of X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy and various electrochemical methods for trace metal analysis. Another method not previously described deals with the determination of the partial pressure of carbon dioxide as part of standardised procedures to describe the marine CO2 system.
