“…The higher content of calcium in leaves than tubers in contrast to that obtained by Nadaf et al (1998a) may indicate the cultivar difference in chemical composition as was pointed out by Magat and Goh (1990).…”

“…In the evaluation of forage crops, yield must be coupled with quality to make the product more useful and more appealing to the animal (Cooper, 1972). The chemical composition of fodder beet varies between cultivars, growing conditions, tops and root of the plant (Magat and Goh, 1990).The fodder beet tubers were nutritive and could be a good source of carbohydrates. The tubers were very rich in starch (NFE=81% of dry matter) (Nadaf et al,1998b).…”

and Technology, to study the effect of nitrogen fertilization on quality of three fodder beet cultivars. Nitrogen treatments at a rate of 0, 40, 80 and 120 kg N/ha were assigned to the main plots .Three fodder beet cultivars (Voroshenger, Anisa and Polyproductiva) were allotted to the sub-plots. Nitrogen fertilization reduced dry matter content highly significantly (p<0.01). However, it increased crude protein and ether extract highly significantly (p<0.01) and crude fiber significantly (p<0.05) in the first season and crude protein and nitrogen free extract significantly (p<0.05) in the second season. Leaves exceeded tubers in crude protein, crude fiber and ash highly significantly (p<0.01) while tubers were superior over leaves in dry matter and nitrogen free extract. Tubers without nitrogen fertilization and under 40 and 120 kg N/ha highly significantly (p<0.01) attained the greatest dry matter and nitrogen free extract. Leaves with 40 and 120 kg N/ha recorded the highest crude protein and crude fiber. Leaves under 40 and 80 kg N/ha attained the highest ether extract while those with 80 and 120 kg N/ha recorded the greatest ash contents. Nitrogen, phosphorus, sodium, magnesium, zink and iron were significantly (p<0.05) increased by nitrogen fertilization while calcium was reduced. Sulfur and chloride showed inconsistent response to nitrogen fertilization. Leaves contents of nitrogen, phosphorus, calcium, magnesium and zink were higher than tubers and the reverse was true for potassium and sodium.

“…Among the species examined, the Chenopodiaceae, including the important crops spinach, beet, and sugar beet, have received particularly detailed attention, both in terms of physiological and field investigation (Larson and Pierre 1953;Lehr and Wybenga 1955;Tinker 1965;El-Sheikh et al 1967;Draycott et al 1970;Judel and Kuhn 1975;Draycott and Durrant 1976;Jeschke 1977;Milford et al 1977;Durrant et al 1978;Draycott and Bugg 1982;Flowers and Läuchli 1983;Nunes et al 1984;Pessarakli and Tucker 1985;Peck et al 1987;Magat and Goh 1990;Haneklaus et al 1998;Subbarao et al 1999a, b). Beneficial effects in this family are pronounced, and this may well relate to their ecological habit as ruderal, r-strategic, species (Desplanque et al 1999), capable of substantial growth rates and physiological flexibility in response to rapidly changing environments.…”

Background Sodium (Na + ) is one of the most intensely researched ions in plant biology and has attained a reputation for its toxic qualities. Following the principle of Theophrastus Bombastus von Hohenheim (Paracelsus), Na + is, however, beneficial to many species at lower levels of supply, and in some, such as certain C4 species, indeed essential. Scope Here, we review the ion's divergent roles as a nutrient and toxicant, focusing on growth responses, membrane transport, stomatal function, and paradigms of ion accumulation and sequestration. We examine connections between the nutritional and toxic roles throughout, and place special emphasis on the relationship of Na + to plant potassium (K + ) relations and homeostasis. Conclusions Our review investigates intriguing connections and disconnections between Na + nutrition and toxicity, and concludes that several leading paradigms in the field, such as on the roles of Na + influx and tissue accumulation or the cytosolic K + /Na + ratio in the development of toxicity, are currently insufficiently substantiated and require a new, critical approach.

“…Similarly, water-extraction and nitricperchloric acid digestion gave very similar values for K and Na, cations which occur in ionic form in plants (data not shown). Previous work on the plant cationanion balance (Magat and Goh, 1990) has used water extraction as a way measuring total Na and Cl. Organic S was not measured and its exclusion will result in underestimation of total anion equivalents.…”

Plant cation-anion balance as affected by the ionic composition of the growing medium

Plants that remove an excess of cations over anions may cause soil acidification. The acidification potential of plants has been evaluated using solution culture techniques, but the influence of ionic composition of the medium on the plant cation-anion balance remains unclear. Our objective was to determine how electrolyte concentration and salt type affect the cation-anion balance of two test plants [barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) and kochia (Kochia scoparia L. Schrad.)]. Seedlings were grown in sand culture and irrigated with nutrient solution (Hoagland's solution), which was adjusted to a range of electrolyte concentrations (target electrical conductivity of 7.5, 17.5 and 27.5 dS m −1 ) using either chloride or sulphate salts. Increase in electrolyte concentration reduced yield of kochia, a salt-tolerant plant, by up to 38%. Total cation (Ca + Mg + K + Na) equivalents in kochia exceeded those of anions (Cl + S + P + NO 3 ) by 250 to 280 cmol c kg −1 of dry matter. Electrolyte concentration had no effect on the cationanion balance of kochia, but excess cation values were significantly greater in the sulphate than in the chloride system. Kochia had a large content of water-soluble oxalate (194 to 226 cmol c kg −1 ), which was linearly related to the excess cation content. Growth of barley was severely restricted at the intermediate and high electrolyte concentrations. Cations exceeded anions by 21 to 59 cmol c kg −1 of barley dry matter. Excess cation content was greater in the sulphate than in the chloride medium, but electrolyte concentration did not have a consistent effect on the cation-anion balance. The small amounts of oxalate found in barley (0.9 to 2.6 cmol c kg −1 ) were insufficient to balance the cation excess.
