Plant Nutrition

  1. Dan Esguerra recommends I think that people would be interested in this site because of the information on plant nutrition and how it is essential. Thefollowing page elaborates on how soil is the primary source of a plant'sintake of nutrients. It explains how plants use inorganic minerals fornutrition. This would be helpful to those who want to learn more about aplant's nutrition and what they need to survive today.
  2. Amanda Laun recommends This URL location might be interesting to other studentsinvolved in the botany field. There are several things to see on the firstpage. If you go under the UWA Centre for Land Rehabilitation you will connect to aresearch center in Austrailia. They have some neat research topics that arecurrently underway including the function of mycorrhizal fungi in plants
  3. Mike Benken recommends This would be a great addition to the web site because it would give any first-year Botany student an idea as to what it takes to feed almost any plant in thebotanical kingdom. It could also direct that student to other URLsto give detailed description of what happens to that plantfood after it is given to the plant.
  4. John Christopher Hendricks recommends This is a brand new URL that is very user friendly. It covers all sorts of topics concerning plant nutrution and respiration. It contains a collection of journals of related topics. It was very interesting and informative reading.
  5. Emily Blachly recommends This page will allow students to view plant nutrition from theother side of the world!
  6. Gretchen Dryfuse recommends This site discusses genetically engineered foods and how theycould effect our lives. This is important to us because genetically engineeredfoods are appearing on the market every day. Before we claim that theseplants and the foods that they produce are the wave of the future, we need to knowwhat the changes to these plants can do to the consumers.
  7. Sarah Treuhaft recommends This URL cite, entitled "What is Plant Nutrition?" describes, amongother concepts, Arnon and Stout's criteria for essentiality and themacro- and micro- nutrients considered to be essential for plant nutrition. Writtenby Dorothy Morgan, a staff horticulturalist, this web site goes into fargreater detail than our textbook on this subject
  8. Josie Tholking recommends I found this web site interesting because researchers are findingnew ways to use the things that we waste in ways to better the soil forplant growth and nutrition.
  9. Brandon Smith recommends Plant nutrition is the study of the uptake and utilization ofmineral nutrients within plants. An understanding of these processes is veryimportant in bette r understanding the ecosystem, agriculture, and horticulture.
  10. Camron Whitacre recommends It tells you anything you want to know from micronutrients tomacronutrients. It talks about the types of mineral elements needed for adequateplant producti on and those that help in better growth of plants. It also goesinto great det ail about soil pH,about which is better for plant growth andsurvival. This UR L is very interesting. It's something that everyone should checkout.
  11. Cory Waldfogel recommends This site offers a greater understanding of how one can improve aplant's nutrition, thus allowing optimum growth.
  12. Shannon maurer recommends Plant Nutrition: What is Nutrition? -refers to steps by which a living organism assimilates food anduses it for gr owth and replacement of tissue Plant nutrition is a term that takes into account theinterrelationships of min eral elements in the soiil as well as their role in plant growth. This topic would be of interest to students because they couldlearn to differe ntiate between essential and beneficial nutrients. Essentialnutrients is an e lement that is essential for survival. Beneficial-aids in lesserfunctions.
  13. Kimberly S. Rickett recommends This articlediscusses in laymen's terms the essentials and advatageous elements and minerals for plant nutrition and fertility. Also included are the differences between plant nutrition and fertility and the differences between essential and beneficial elements and examples of each. This would enhance a student's knowledge of the subject outside of class and is useful to know in the importance of creatingfertiliers and optimal environments for plant growth.
  14. Albert Rocchini recommends This arcticle was about Nitrogen and Phosphorous in the soil andhow it effected plant tissuses. I thought that it was pretty interestingalthough it was very complicated reading. The arcticle stated that in the longterm, nitrogen limitation may slow the diomass production response toelevated CO2. It also talked about many other things. It was a very informativearcticle.
