Abstract
Leptochloa fusca (L.) kunth, seedlings
suppliedwith 0,5,10 and 20 mm of nitrate were grown hydroponically as well as in sand culture . fresh and dry weight of seedlings sampled at 10, 12,
14 and 16 days after plantation were significantly different from the zero nitrogen treatment with maximum increase I seedlings grown in 10mM, NO3 solution. Total-N of plants exhibited similar pattern . nitrate reductase activity was high and comparable activities were obtained in shoots a well as in roots . differences in all parameters were also influenced by the growing cinditions.
