Other claims from this paper (8)
- Intervention effect Foliar uptake of phosphoric acid was high with all adjuvants that contained a surfactant.
- Intervention effect Only one foliar treatment increased wheat grain yield by 12%.
- Intervention effect Two foliar treatments decreased wheat grain yield.
- Intervention effect Foliar uptake was similar for all treatments that contained a surfactant.
- Intervention effect The wettability of the foliar fertilisers was markedly different.
- Observation Leaf surface properties that affect wettability were similar across all leaves at both growth stages.
- Association Timing of foliar application and inclusion of a surfactant are important for absorption and translocation of phosphoric acid in wheat leaves.
- Association High foliar uptake and translocation of phosphoric acid will not always translate to a wheat yield increase.
