The Effect of Nitrogen and Light Gradients on the Growth Rate of Two Plant
Species
Summary
The purpose of this experiment was to look at the effect of a nitrogen
and light gradients on the growth rates of two plant species. The experiment
was located in the same fenced area as E018. The experiment was a full
factorial design with 7 nitrogen levels and seven light levels. See nutradd.doc
for how the soil was constructed. See E019
for light levels. The two species were Agrostis scabra and Poa pratensis.
There were two replicates of the full factorial design for a total of 196,
4-gallon pots. There was a powdery mildew problem with P. pratensis and
Poa was abandoned. Both replicates of A. scabra were harvested in 1985
and began again in 1986, see E030.
