Automatic measurement of surface runoff at the plot scale
HIGHLIGHTS Prototypes with a tipping bucket system were developed and calibrated The equipment automatically measures surface runoff The resolution of the devices can reach 5 L pulse -1. The equipment is capable of monitoring flows of up to 80 L min -1. The equipment is inexpensive and easy to build and maintain. ABSTRACT Although the hydrological importance of water […]
Initial growth response of twelve Saccharum Complex genotypes to inoculation using Nitrospirillum viridazoti
HIGHLIGHTS Genotypes of Saccharum Complex differ in growth response upon bacterial inoculation. S. spontaneum was the genus with a higher growth response. Initial growth of 12 genotypes showed a limited response to bacterial application. Under low soil fertility, the order of macronutrient accumulation was K >> N > Ca > Mg > P. ABSTRACT Sugar […]
