“…For the remaining experiments, environmental conditions and analytical procedures were more uniform, and the percentage absorption was notably constant, except for Ca 45 • In the latter case, translocation from the applied leaf was practically zero. This observation is in agreement with previous reports on the immobility of calcium in the phloem (Mason and Maskell, 1931;Bledsoe and Harris, 1950;Tammes, 1951;Wiersum, 1951).…”

“…Since calcium transport in the xylem is mainly a transpiration-driven process, the Ca supply of plant parts with a low level of transpiration will be problematic. In groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.), calcium deficiency is known to result in abortion or poor filling of fruits (Bledsoe and Harris, 1950;Brady, 1947). Well-known Ca-related physiological disorders in plants include bitter pit in the fruits of apple, and blossom-end rot in the fruits of tomato and water melon (Ferguson and Watkins, 1989;Millaway and Wiersholm, 1979;Perring, 1986;Shear, 1975;Simon, 1978).…”

The calcium nutrition of bambara groundnut (Vigna subterranea (L.) Verdc.)

It is known that the calcium (Ca) requirement of the pods of groundnut (Arachis hypogaea (L.)) will be met by direct uptake of this element by the subterrean pods from the soil. In bambara groundnut (Vigna subterranea (L.) Verdc.), however, some plants have been found to develop some of their pods above-ground. This suggests that the Ca supply of bambara groundnut pods deviates from that in groundnut. Therefore, to elucidate the Ca nutrition of bambara groundnut, with particular emphasis on the supply and internal distribution of Ca within the pod, three experiments were conducted consecutively, in which Ca supply to the roots and pods of bambara groundnut was varied independently using a "double-pot technique". It appeared that calcium supplied to the podding medium was not taken up by the pods. Hence the pods are completely dependent on Ca taken up by the roots. The total Ca accumulated in hull and seed was found to be related to the dry matter mass of each of the two pod compartments. It was found that the amount of Ca accumulated in the pods was low compared with that of leaves. Within the pods, the calcium concentration in hulls was significantly higher than that of the seed. In all cases calcium concentrations in the seed were extremely low, even when external Ca supply was abundant. This suggests that in bambara groundnut, Ca transport from the hull to the seed is the most limiting step in the supply of Ca to the seed.

“…Nutrient content of various plant parts varies considerably during development of peanuts (1,2,3,5,9). When grown under nutrient sufficiency conditions (5,6,9), no definite relationship between yield level or apparent yield potential of many cultivars or lines and nutrient content of the plant portions was noted.…”

Petioles and blades of central stem leaves of 10 peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) cultivars or lines grown in fertilized field plots in 1972 and 1973 and the last of four consecutive crops grown in pots during 1971 to 1973 were analyzed for evidence of relative differences in nutritional requirements. Runner-types included were Florigiant, Florunner, Va. 72R, NC 5, Avoca 11, and Va. 61R and bunchtypes were NC 17, NC-Fla. 14, Va. 68 Composite, and Va. 70 Composite. The peanuts were grown in Woodstown (Aquic Hapludult ) loamy fine sand.Significant (5 % level) differences among cultt-
