Effect of submersion on roots {Gard. Chron., 16 {1894), scr.S, p. 255). — The claim 

 that roots submerged for any considerable time will die is refuted by the practice of 

 submerging A'ines for 30 to 60 days to destroy the phylloxera. Miintz says that such 

 roots may obtain the requisite amount of oxygen from the nitrogen protoxid formed 

 from the nitrates of the soil by bacteria. It is also shown that roots can obtain the 

 oxygen necessary directly from the nitrates if the bacteria are not present. Submer- 

 sion will not cause suffocation while there is an abundance of nitrogen available.
