New knowledgesoils, crops and weeds Methods to assess water stress in maize Water stress (30%), 90 N-Urea, No Senna • 13C signature measurement is promising for the assessment of water stress in maize (C4 plants). October 28 2004 Assessment of mechanisms
New knowledge on crops, soils and weeds Mechanisms leading to positive interactions between organic matter and urea • TDR measurements suggest higher moisture availability at the surface, when Senna leaves are incorporated • Improved water availability • Better N uptake efficiency
