| Summary: | "Sawgrass (Cladium Jamaicense Crantz) seedlings were grown in virgin soil in a greenhouse to determine the mineral-nutrient status of plants in the field, as well as their response to nutrient enrichment. Addition of small quantities of phosphorus produced significant increases in dry weight, shoot length, and vegetative reproduction of new plants. Growth responses of seedlings were highly related to P levels in tissues. There appeared to be an optimum P level in tissue, however, as higher levels inhibited dry-matter production, shoot elongation, and new shoot production. This was a signifcant finding, indicating that serious consequences may result from discharging nutrient-rich waters into the Everglades marshes. Critical P concentration was determined to be higher in seedlings than in sawgrass plants from the field. It was concluded that experimentally determined critical nutrient levels do not adequately diagnose the nutrient status of plants in the field"--Transmittal letter. | |
