Corn Stalk Nitrate Concentration Profile

The end-of-season nitrate test provides a method of assessing the N available to the corn (Zea mays L.) crop during the latter part of the season. This study was conducted to determine how stalk nitrate test results and interpretations are affected by sample composition. Stalks were collected from three filed sites and separated into phytomers (node plus internode above), which were subdivided into three or five segments after length was measured. Nitrate-N concentration of phytomers decreased linearly from the soil to the ear. Within a phytomer, segments also decreased acropetally (from base to apex). Node tissue NO3-N concentration did not differ from that of the internode segment immediately above the node. Weighted means were used to compute NO3-N concentration of stalk samples collected 5 cm higher (from 20 to 40 cm above the soil) or lower (from 10 to 30 cm above the soil). Although the three samples (10-30, 15-35, and 20-40 cm) differed in NO3-N concentration, the difference was only about 15% compared with the 25% difference in sampling position (± 5 cm of 20-cm sample length). The phytomer nearest the soil had 35 to 40% greater NO3-N concentrations than the section of stalk 15 to 35 cm above the soil. Critical values delineating yield-limiting adequate, and excessive N availability should be modified if stalk sections other than the standard 15 to 35 cm section are used. However, the qualitative nature of the stalk nitrate test and the range of NO3-N concentrations observed with reasonable corn cultural practices (1000x) make this test quite robust and precise definition of sample composition and critical values less necessary

Plant species as a significant factor in wastewater treatment in constructed wetlands

They should reduce the Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD) and utilize a large amount of the influent. The BOD determines how much oxygen is used bymicro organisms while oxidizing organic matter. If BOD is high, the effluent is high in organic material, which clogs the soil of the drainfield. Reductions in the BOD can increase the life of a drainfield. The water usage of wetlands is important to drainfields. Reducing the amount of effluent through water uptake can result in smaller drainfields. This study was conducted using Arrowhead (Sagittaria lancifolia), Umbrella Palm (Cyperus alternifolius), Dwarf Umbrella Palm (Cyperus isoclaudus), and Cattail (Typha latifolia) in microcosms fed rural septic influent. The water parameters studied were water usage, ammonium-nitrogen, phosphorus, coliforms, suspended solids, BOD, pH, and turbidity. The BOD for all plants was reduced below the standard levels but none were significantly different. The Umbrella Palm utilized an average of 30% of the wastewater it received over a two-day period and its water usage was significantly different from the others. The Umbrella Palm reduced the BOD and influent volume, making it the best plant choice for use in constructed wetlands
