Abstract: | Abstract A variety of vegetables were grown in a greenhouse in loamy soil or sand with a control watered to 33 bar and treatments aerated for various time intervals to determine effects on yield or other plant characteristics. Statistically significant yield increases were noted for most aerated plant types grown in loam or sand. For the loam nitrogen leaf tissue of beans was significantly greater than controls for all aerated treatments. This was probably a result of mineralization since it was not found in aerated treatments of soybeans grown in sand. |
