Other claims from this paper (12)
- Intervention effect Foliar fertilization generally improved leaf macro- and micronutrient profiles.
- Observation Macronutrient concentrations were greater in leaves than roots.
- Observation Micronutrients were highest in roots.
- Observation Mannitol was the most abundant soluble sugar in leaves and roots, followed by glucose.
- Association Leaf carbohydrate concentrations differed across season and treatments.
- Observation Mannitol in olive tissues decreased in July relative to May.
- Observation Glucose in olive tissues decreased in July relative to May.
- Observation Roots accumulated lower carbohydrate contents.
- Observation The macronutrient to total carbohydrate ratio was higher in roots than leaves.
- Observation The micronutrient to total carbohydrate ratio was higher in roots than leaves.
- Mechanism The authors associated the July sugar decline with carbohydrate demand for fruit growth.
- Association Mineral and carbohydrate status were related across olive organs under rain-fed conditions.
