Abstract
Denitrification in soil around the bases of corn stalks, determined by the "acetylene blockage technique," exhibited a general trend of decline from June to September. Leaf nitrate reductase activity, determined by an in vivo assay procedure, was low in June and July, and then exhibited a pronounced maximum at the time of tasselling.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
