Other claims from this paper (19)
- Intervention effect Foliar P absorption and translocation were higher on the upper than lower wheat leaf side.
- Intervention effect Increasing foliar P concentration increased the contribution of foliar P to wheat P uptake.
- Intervention effect Increasing foliar P concentration lowered translocation efficiency away from the application site.
- Association Wheat leaf morphology influenced fertilizer retention and contact angle on the leaf surface.
- Association Wheat leaf morphology influenced uptake and translocation of foliar P.
- Intervention effect Foliar P applied at ear emergence had higher absorption and translocation than at anthesis.
- Intervention effect Foliar P without surfactant produced lower fertilizer retention on wheat leaves.
- Intervention effect With phosphoric acid, adjuvant choice affected spreading dynamics and leaf wetting area.
- Intervention effect The grain yield response to foliar phosphoric acid was inconsistent.
- Intervention effect Uptake and translocation were the same across surfactant-containing foliar P formulations.
- Intervention effect Foliar P applied at flag leaf emergence had higher translocation than at tillering.
- Intervention effect Foliar phosphoric acid consistently increased wheat P uptake.
- Intervention effect Foliar phosphoric acid did not consistently increase plant growth and yield.
- Observation Only a small proportion of absorbed foliar phosphoric acid P was translocated.
- Intervention effect Specific adjuvant and non-phosphoric-acid P source combinations increased wheat P uptake.
- Intervention effect Specific adjuvant and non-phosphoric-acid P source combinations increased wheat peak biomass.
- Association Increased wheat P uptake did not always translate into increased biomass.
- Association Translocation of foliar P played a more crucial role than uptake in wheat biomass response.
- Mechanism Several foliar P formulations achieved positive wheat biomass and grain yield responses through retention, absorption and translocation.
