e1“All carbohydrate treatments significantly improved wheat dry matter (17.50–35.00%) and nutrient uptake (N: 17.12–32.18%, P: 21.73–36.97%, K: 12.28–30.51%) compared with the control”

Other claims from this paper (8)
- Intervention effect All carbohydrate treatments significantly increased wheat N uptake relative to the control, by 17.12–32.18%.
- Intervention effect All carbohydrate treatments significantly increased wheat P uptake relative to the control, by 21.73–36.97%.
- Intervention effect All carbohydrate treatments significantly increased wheat K uptake relative to the control, by 12.28–30.51%.
- Intervention effect Among the four carbohydrates, glucose gave the greatest stimulation of wheat root vigor.
- Intervention effect Sorbitol facilitated wheat root elongation and surface area.
- Intervention effect Gluconic acid and glucuronic acid promoted wheat nutrient uptake, though slightly less effectively than glucose.
- Mechanism The authors attribute the carbohydrate-induced gains in wheat nutrient uptake primarily to promoted root vigor and nutrient absorption.
- Observation The optimal concentrations were 10 mg L−1 for glucose and 25 mg L−1 for its derivatives.
