Experimental chamber used for uptake studies. Schematic diagram of the experimental system used to estimate the plant P uptake showing the connection between the plant chamber and the flow injection analyzer (FIA) used for PO4 3- detection. 1: Acrylic root chamber with diffuser for flushing with air or N2; 2: Collar and seal for plant mounting; 3: Magnetic stirring bar protected by a net; 4: High speed peristaltic pump for recirculation of solution in the root chamber; 5: Tee pieces; 6: Three-way valves for calibration of FIA; 7: Peristaltic pump of the FIA; 8: Six port valve of a FIA analyzer channel.
