    Law of limiting factors was given by

    A)  Leibig                                  

    B)  Blackman

    C)  Calvin                                  

    D)  Amon

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Liebig (1843), proposed the law of minimum       which states that 'when a process, such as           growth, is governed by a number of separate              factors, the rate of the process is limited by pace              of slowest factor.'             Blackman (1905) extended the law of minimum   to formulate the law of limiting factors which in                 his own words is 'when a process is conditioned      as to its rapidity by a number of separate factors,             the rate of the process is limited by the pace of       slowest factor Blackman also proposed the dark               reaction of carbon assimilation, known as Calvin      cycle or Blackman reaction.             Calvin (1954; Nobel Prize winner) traced the path                of carbon in photosynthesis.             Arnon (1954) and others used radioactive \[C{{O}_{2}}\] to              show carbon assimilation in chloroplasts. He also    demonstrated cyclic and non-cyclic              photophosphorylation.
