Fazrul Edlin S., . and Mokhtaruddin A.M., . (2002) Uptake of macronutrients by Amaranthus spp. grown in soil amended by sewage sludge. [Proceedings Paper]
Abstract
This study was conducted to assess the effect of incubation time and mycorrhiza on the availability and uptake of macronutrients by Amaranthus spp. grown in pot filled with sludge-amended soil. It was found that plant growth was significantly affected by incubation time. The total plant dry weight increased with the increase in incubation time and this trend was parallel to the increase in uptake of macronutrients N P K Ca and Mg by the plants. The longer time of incubation released more nutrient into the soil medium and increased their availability to the crops. The results also showed that the total plant dry weight was significantly higher with the addition of mycorrhiza compared to that without mycorrhiza. There was a very significant effect of interaction between incubation time and mycorrhiza on plant growth and the uptake of nutrients. This implied that with the ability of mycorrhiza to help increase the efficiency of nutrient uptake by plants its mycorrhiza presence in the soil also decreased the time of incubation.
