Other claims from this paper (8)
- Intervention effect Foliar phosphorus increased wheat grain yield by 176–505 kg/ha in six of nine experiments.
- Association Percent grain-yield response to foliar phosphorus was negatively related to soil phosphorus buffering index.
- Observation Mean agronomic efficiency of foliar phosphorus across experiments was 111 kg/kg P.
- Observation Agronomic efficiency reached up to 232 kg/kg P.
- Intervention effect Foliar phosphorus had potential to improve phosphorus concentration in wheat grains.
- Intervention effect Foliar phosphorus had potential to increase wheat phosphorus uptake.
- Intervention effect Foliar phosphorus had no or minimal effect on wheat grain quality.
- Recommendation The authors suggested seedling tissue testing and soil phosphorus buffering to guide foliar phosphorus timing for wheat yield gains.
