Boosting Wheat Growth in Acidic Soil: New Phosphorus Dynamics Unveiled!
Phosphorus is crucial for wheat plant growth, and researchers studied how it moves within the plant in acidic soil. They used two wheat varieties and found that adding more phosphorus increased plant biomass by 80% and phosphorus uptake by over 8 times. Both wheat varieties responded similarly to the increased phosphorus levels. The added phosphorus helped the plants absorb more nutrients and improved both shoot and root growth. This study shows that giving wheat plants more phosphorus can enhance their growth in acidic soil conditions.
