Much work has been done with regard to the elements necessary for plants, their function in the plant, methods of absorption, amounts necessary, nutrient solutions, etc. The following is particularly, concerned with nutrient solutions, including their composition, concentration, methods of application, and the general methods of dealing with sand and water cultures. The work is confined mainly to a study of the major elements.

“…In a previous communication by the senior author the growth of Milan Strap-leaved Purple Top Turnips in sand culture was described (Woodman, 1941), and, later, curves of yields against concentrations in p.p.m. of phosphorus were drawn (Woodman, 1944).…”

“…37 EXPERIMENTAL Throughout the whole series of experiments described in this paper, the nutrient solutions employed were those given in Table 1. They are the same solutions as those tabulated in the section labelled ' Phosphorus experiment' of Table 1 of the communication dealing with sand cultures of turnips (Woodman, 1941), with the addition of an extra solution, that containing 2-73 p.p.m. of phosphorus (F here).…”

“…The content of available phosphate was thus extremely good, and quite sufficient by itself for 'normal' growth of most cultivated plants. The main object of this particular experiment, therefore, was to ascertain whether additional supplies of available phosphate supplied as the common sodium phosphate to a soil already containing adequate phosphate for all general purposes resulted in increased yield, had no effect, or decreased yield as in corresponding experiments with the same turnip in sand culture (Woodman, 1941(Woodman, , 1944.…”

Statistical experiments were made to ascertain the effect of variations in applied soluble phosphate on the growth of Milan Strap-leaved Purple Top Turnips in a light gravel soil already containing sufficient available phosphate, and in a fen soil possessing an inadequate supply of available phosphate, as aggregates for growth.No adverse effect on yield, calculated as fresh or dry matter of tops, roots, or whole plants, was suffered in either soil at any of the stages of growth considered at the highest concentrations of soluble phosphate, unlike the behaviour of this turnip when grown in a pure sand containing no clays or humates, where there was a narrow optimum range of phosphorus at a low concentration. The gravel soil occupied an intermediate position, however, between sand with its low optimum range of soluble phosphorus, and fen soil, where positive response to increasing concentrations of soluble phosphorus approached the ‘normal’, and thus there was a range of phosphorus at low concentration tending to a maximum yield followed generally by a greater numerical yield at the highest concentrations of phosphorus.At the seedling stage in gravel soil variation in applied phosphate had absolutely no statistical effect on yield, moisture content of tops, roots and whole plants, and the ratios, for fresh or dry matter, Top/Root, Root/(Whole plant) and (Whole plant)/ Top.
