- Intervention effect Foliar phosphorus significantly increased wheat grain yield with soil phosphorus applied by banding or broadcast.
- Intervention effect Foliar phosphorus significantly increased maize grain yield with soil phosphorus applied by banding or broadcast.
- Intervention effect Foliar phosphorus significantly increased maize phosphorus use efficiency.
- Association Response to foliar phosphorus significantly declined as soil phosphorus levels increased.
- Recommendation The authors recommend foliar phosphorus application at knee height plus tasseling and stem elongation plus boot stages to manage phosphorus fertilizer.
