Other claims from this paper (8)
- Intervention effect Foliar iron treatment increased Fe concentrations in treated leaf areas of peach and sugar beet.
- Intervention effect Treated distal leaf areas re-greened markedly.
- Intervention effect Photosynthetic pigment concentrations increased significantly in treated leaf areas.
- Intervention effect Xanthophyll cycle carotenoid de-epoxidation decreased in treated leaf areas.
- Intervention effect Photochemical efficiency increased in treated leaf areas.
- Observation Fe concentrations rose slightly in untreated basal leaf parts.
- Observation Other nutrient concentrations did not change.
- Mechanism The authors inferred that limited within-leaf Fe mobility constrains fertilizer effectiveness.
