Abstract
The suitability was studied of applying moderate amounts of Cu for slowing down the undesirably rapid biodegradation and subsidence of some Histosols (organic soils). The yields of oats and lettuce grown on an organic soil (B) containing 1060 ppm Cu (wt/wt) were similar to or greater than those grown on an organic soil (A) with 135.7 ppm Cu. The mineral nutrient contents of crops on soil B showed no signs of physiological stress due to their higher Cu contents.This publication has 11 references indexed in Scilit:
