Other claims from this paper (6)
- Intervention effect Environmental conditions significantly affected foliar Cu in lettuce, with effects differing between soils.
- Intervention effect Environmental conditions significantly affected lettuce growth, with effects differing between soils.
- Method / resource Foliar Cu was a poor biomarker of lettuce growth.
- Association Lettuce growth was related primarily to nutritional status rather than Cu phytotoxicity.
- Mechanism Foliar Cu may affect lettuce nutritional status through photosynthesis-related processes and cation balance.
- Recommendation The authors recommend reporting sources of variability in phytotoxicity assessments.
