Q.93
Soil Science- ICAR JRF/SRF 2024
Match the Following +4 −1
Match List-I with List-II:

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

List - I सूची - I
Nutrient Elements List-I (Nutrient Elements
List - II सूची - II
Dominant Uptake Mechanism by Plant Roots List-II (Dominant Uptake Mechanism by Plant Roots
A Nitrogen ($\text{NO}_3^-$) Nitrogen ($\text{NO}_3^-$) I Mass flow Mass flow
B Phosphorus ($\text{H}_2\text{PO}_4^-$) Phosphorus ($\text{H}_2\text{PO}_4^-$) II Diffusion Diffusion
C Potassium ($\text{K}^+$) Potassium ($\text{K}^+$) III Diffusion Diffusion
D Calcium ($\text{Ca}^{2+}$) Calcium ($\text{Ca}^{2+}$) IV Mass flow and Root interception Mass flow and Root interception
  • Mechanisms of Plant Nutrient Transport to Root Surfaces (Barber's Concept):
  • Nitrogen (Nitrate, $\text{NO}_3^-$): Highly soluble and non-adsorbed; transported almost entirely ($\gt 80\%$) via convective Mass flow $\rightarrow$ (I)
  • Phosphorus (Orthophosphates, $\text{H}_2\text{PO}_4^-$): Strongly adsorbed and precipitated; transported almost exclusively ($\gt 90\%$) via Diffusion $\rightarrow$ (II)
  • Potassium ($\text{K}^+$): Readily exchanged on clay edges; transported primarily ($70-80\%$) by Diffusion $\rightarrow$ (III)
  • Calcium ($\text{Ca}^{2+}$): Present in high solution concentrations; supplied predominantly through Mass flow and Root interception $\rightarrow$ (IV)
  • Systematic Match: (A)-(I), (B)-(II), (C)-(III), (D)-(IV) corresponds to Option 1.

Correct option: (1) (A) - (IN), (B) - (III), (C) - (IV), (D) - @),
