The study looked at how different levels of phosphorus affected the growth and photosynthesis of Zizania latifolia plants. They found that plants grew best with a medium amount of phosphorus (0.64 mM). Low phosphorus levels hindered plant growth and decreased photosynthetic performance, while high phosphorus had only a slight effect. Overall, the research showed that phosphorus plays a crucial role in the growth and photosynthesis of Z. latifolia plants.
