Foliar Fertilization: Mechanisms and Magnitude of Nutrient Uptake
Foliar fertilization is a widely used method used to supplement soil applications to improve the yield and quality of field crops. However, questions and uncertainty surround this practice. Numerous field trials have clearly demonstrated the uptake of foliar-applied nutrients by leaves and subsequent translocation to the fruit. In cotton, foliar-applied N was rapidly absorbed by the leaf (30% w...
متن کاملNitrate: nutrient and signal for plant growth.
The mineral nutrient needed in greatest abundance by plants is nitrogen. Plants, however, must compete for nitrogen in the soil with abiotic and biotic processes such as erosion, leaching, and microbial consumption. Soil nitrogen is also lost when crops are harvested and plant material is removed from the soil. To be competitive, plants have evolved several mechanisms to acquire nitrogen at low...
متن کاملDetecting Terrestrial Nutrient Limitation: A Global Meta-Analysis of Foliar Nutrient Concentrations after Fertilization
Examining foliar nutrient concentrations after fertilization provides an alternative method for detecting nutrient limitation of ecosystems, which is logistically simpler to measure than biomass change. We present a meta-analysis of response ratios of foliar nitrogen and phosphorus (RRN, RRP) after addition of fertilizer of nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), or the two elements in combination, in re...
