Abstract

Growth response of the seagrass Halophila engelmanni Aschers. was studied using defined culture techniques. When added to the rhizosphere, nutrient-seawater medium supported vigorous plant growth, if substantial Cu (10 times that in modified Hoagland solution) plus organic N were present. H2S up to 0.2 millimolar in the sediment was not inhibitory. A requirement for exogenous organic N, especially urea, is postulated for vigorous growth of Halophila.
