I am looking for the procedure of knowing nutrient uptake for rice plant under saline condition. So that please provide me the best method to get the exact nutrient result. Thank you in advance.
In the past one would have used chemical analysis of the plant and that is still OK, but now MIFE techniques can estimate instantaneous ion fluxes at root surfaces.
A common method for measuring uptake by intact roots in situ is the depletion method, wherein intact fine roots are separated from the soil and placed in the nutrient solution. The difference between initial and final amounts of nutrient in solution is attributed to root uptake.
Measuring nutrient uptake under saline condition will hardly make any change in method to be followed for nutrient upatke calculation . Paul has added another dimension...
Thank you all, could you please tell me the method with reference for measuring macro and micro nutrient of rice plant???
Interesting answers! This assessment is important for establishing fertilization patterns.
