Phosphorus (P) is a vital soil macronutrient required by plants for optimum growth and
development. However, its availability is limited because of fixation. The phosphorus fixation …

Plant growth is usually constrained by the availability of nutrients, water, or temperature,
rather than photosynthetic carbon (C) fixation. Under these conditions leaf growth is …

Phosphorus (P) is an essential element determining plants' growth and productivity. Due to
soil fixation of P, its availability in soil is rarely sufficient for optimum growth and …

Growth is a widely used term in plant science and ecology, but it can have different
meanings depending on the context and the spatiotemporal scale of analysis. At the …

This new edition provides current information on the nutritional requirements of world crops.
It presents research on the acquisition, accumulation, transport, and functions of chemical …

Stomata are cellular breathing pores on leaves that open and close to absorb photosynthetic
carbon dioxide and to restrict water loss through transpiration, respectively. Grasses …

Phosphorus is one of the seventeen essential nutrients required for plant growth. Despite its
importance, it is limiting crop yield on more than 40% of the world's arable land. Moreover …

There is little information about the effect of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) and
phosphate solubilizing bacteria (PSB) on maize productivity in the presence of sparingly …

Nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) are essential nutrients for plant metabolism, and their
availability often limits primary productivity. Whereas the effects of N availability on …

Historically, the agronomic focus of crop mineral nutrition has yielded responses to
individual elements (N, P, K…) to determine the economically optimum fertilization rates …
