Abstract
The effects of wire diameter and length, effective area of platinum wire, temperature, electrical conductivity and reproducibility of field soil measurements on this method are studied. The possible influence of other reducible substances and "poisoning" are also discussed. This study shows that the method is reliable under normal soil conditions and in the range of plant O2 deficiencies.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
