| Description |
An apparatus is described in which the root systems of up to ten plants can be simultaneously incubated with 15N2 gas mixtures, while the aerial environment remains undisturbed. The size of incubation chamber and the number of chambers can be adjusted depending on the size and growth stage of the plants being tested. The apparatus has the facility for the recovery of gas mixtures, sampling and adjustment of gas concentrations, and control of soil moisture status within a sealed system. Possible experimental applications are suggested and some preliminary results presented which demonstrate bacterial nitrogen fixation and uptake into Sorghum seedlings.
