| Contents: |
Mycorrhizal (+VAM) and nonmycorrhizal (-VAM) maize (Zea mays L.) plants were grown in sand culture in a greenhouse to determine effects of MES [2(N-morpholino)-ethanesulfonic acid] (2.0 mM) and pH (4.0, 5.0, 6.0, and 7.0) on mineral nutrient uptake. Plants were inoculated with the vesicular-arbuscular mycorrhizal (VAM) isolate Glomus intraradices UT143. Shoot and root dry matter yields were lower in plants grown with MES (+MES) than without MES (-MES), and decreased as pH increased. Shoot concentrations of N, Ca, Mg, Mn, and Zn were generally higher in +MES than in -MES plants, and nutrient contents of most nutrients were generally higher in + MES than in -MES plants. Concentrations of N, Ca, Mg, and Mn increased and P, S, and Fe decreased, while contents of all measured nutrients except Mn and Zn decreased as pH increased. Concentrations of Mn, Fe, Zn, and Cu were higher in +VAM than in -VAM plants, and contents of P and Ca were higher in -VAM than in +VAM plants and Zn content was higher in +VAM than in -VAM plants. MES had marked effects on mineral nutrient uptake which should be considered when MES is used to control pH of nutrient solutions for growth of maize. |
