Edaphic Diversity and Growth of Some Indian Isoetes L. Species
In the present study an attempt has been made to correlate the different soil factors with the growth of four different species of Isoetes L. Soil collected from natural habitats of Isoetes have been analysed for colour, texture, pH and available plant nutrients. The present analysis revealed that t...
