Gardeners Delight cherry toms
"Alan Gould" wrote in message ... In article , Franz Heymann writes I thought that such Oxygen as a plant needs is absorbed as the Ogygen in Carbon Dioxide through the stomata or as components of molecules or ions which the plant takes in through the roots. I am probably just being ignorant, but I have never heard of Oxygen being absorbed through the roots as gaseous molecules of Ogygen.. I do know that many plants abhor waterlogged conditions, but I did not think that that was connected with the uptake of gaseous Oxygen molecules through the roots. Oxygen is not absorbed into plant roots as a gas, it converts into an oxide mineral first, but that cannot happen in waterlogged or over- compacted soil. That is why lawns need aeration from time to time. That sounds more like it. {:-)) Franz |
