Commercial Mycorrhizal Inoculation Of Non-Sterile Field Soil Does Not Enhance Colonization Or Reduce Nitrate Leaching, Madelyn Schoenberger
Commercial Mycorrhizal Inoculation Of Non-Sterile Field Soil Does Not Enhance Colonization Or Reduce Nitrate Leaching, Madelyn Schoenberger
Student Research, Papers, and Creative Works
A short-term microcosm experiment was conducted to investigate whether inoculation of corn plants with commercial mycorrhizal fungus can reduce nitrate leaching from soil. Nitrate leaching presents issues for agricultural yields and crop nutrition as well as for nutrient cycling and ecological stability. Mycorrhizal fungi form a mutually beneficial symbiosis with most terrestrial plants wherein the fungus provides nutrients for the plant and receives organic compounds in return. This symbiosis can increase plant nutrient uptake from soil and may be useful for ecological remediation of nitrogen pollution.
Direct Conversion Of Waste Paper To Valued Foodstuff: Growth Of The Oyster Mushroom (Pleurotus) On Old Newspaper, Elmer L. Schmidt
Direct Conversion Of Waste Paper To Valued Foodstuff: Growth Of The Oyster Mushroom (Pleurotus) On Old Newspaper, Elmer L. Schmidt
Journal of the Minnesota Academy of Science
Waste papers, such as newsprint not recycled for fiber recovery, may provide benefits such as production of valued mushrooms during their biological decomposition in low input simple technology systems. The edible gourmet mushroom Pleurotus ostreatus was grown on a newspaper substrate with small additions of spawn and wood chips. Prior sterilization of the paper was not required in successful outdoor incubation of inoculated bales. Heavy metal content of mushrooms from paper was similar to that found in commercial oyster mushrooms purchased at a local market
The Effect Of Light On The Growth Of Soybean Seedlings, Mary Abrahamsen, T. W. Sudia
The Effect Of Light On The Growth Of Soybean Seedlings, Mary Abrahamsen, T. W. Sudia
Journal of the Minnesota Academy of Science
ABSTRACT- During the course of 13 days of germination and growth, the dry weights of roots, hypocotyl, and epicotyl increased in soybeans grown both in the light and in the· dark. The roots of etiolated 13-day-old soybeans were only 50 per cent of the weights of roots from similar plants grown in the light. The epicotyls of etiolated plants were only 18 per cent of the dry weight of epicotyls of light-grown plants, but the hypocoyl weights of etiolated plants were greater than those grown in the light. Cotyledon dry weight of light-grown plants was reduced by 70 per cent …
Root Rot Of Legumes Caused By Cylindrocladium Scoparium, Daryl A. Freter, Roy D. Wilcoxson
Root Rot Of Legumes Caused By Cylindrocladium Scoparium, Daryl A. Freter, Roy D. Wilcoxson
Journal of the Minnesota Academy of Science
Massey ( 3) in 1927 was the first to report that Cylindrocladium scoparium Morgan could parasitize plants. In 1928 Sherbakoff ( 4) isolated the fungus from a chlorotic red clover plant and from diseased apple roots. Cox (2) proved that C. scoparium can cause damping-off, root rot, stem infection, and needle blight on seedlings of several conifers. He also found that C. scoparium was highly pathogenic on several species of Leguminosae. Bugbee ( 1 ) reported alfalfa to be ideal for detecting C. scoparium in soil in the greenhouse because the seedlings damped-off and the fungus sporulated on the seedlings. …
