Growth and nitrogen allocation of dry season tropical rice as a result of carbon dioxide fertilization and elevated night time temperature
A field experiment was laid out on carbon dioxide (CO2) fertilization for 3 years in dry crop** seasons to investigate the effects of elevated CO2 (e-CO2) (550 µmol mol−1) and elevated CO2 (550 µmol mol−1) + el...
