Soil surfactants applied with 15N labeled urea increases bermudagrass uptake of nitrogen and reduces nitrogen leaching# J. Plant Nutr. Soil Sci. (IF 2.083) Pub Date : 2021-03-03 Gandura Omar Abagandura; Dara Park; William C. Bridges; Kristen Brown
Background: Increasing nitrogen (N) plant uptake efficiency may result in better plant quality and growth, less N susceptible to leaching and potential contamination to surrounding environments. Soil surfactants have been documented to increase water infiltration and enhance water uniformity throughout the soil profile. Thus, applying a surfactant may increase N uptake and use efficiency.

Phosphate foliar application increases biomass and P concentration in P deficient maize J. Plant Nutr. Soil Sci. (IF 2.083) Pub Date : 2021-02-23 Bruno Maximilian Görlach; Karl Hermann Mühling
Background: Foliar application is mainly used in agriculture as a targeted top‐up application to prevent deficiencies or during anthesis to improve quality. Hence, foliar fertilization usually occurs in plants that are in good condition and capable of uptake through the leaf. However, the extent to which plants utilize a nutrient under conditions of deficiency is also of importance.

Boron and zinc fertilizer applications are essential in emerging vegetable‐based crop rotations in Nepal J. Plant Nutr. Soil Sci. (IF 2.083) Pub Date : 2020-05-27 Shova Shrestha, Mathias Becker, John P. A. Lamers, Monika A. Wimmer
Background: Since recently, the traditional rice–wheat rotation systems in Nepal are subject to drastic changes. Progressing urbanisation and shifting consumer preferences drive a replacement of wheat by high‐value vegetables during the cold dry season, particularly in the peri‐urban fringes, while emerging water shortages prevent permanent soil flooding during the monsoon season, leading to partial

Potassium is a potential toxicant for Arabidopsis thaliana under saline conditions J. Plant Nutr. Soil Sci. (IF 2.083) Pub Date : 2020-05-27 Wenting Zhao, Franziska Faust, Sven Schubert
Background and aims: Most physiological and biochemical studies on salt stress are NaCl‐based. However, other ions (e.g., K+, Ca2+, Mg2+, and SO 4 2 - ) also contribute to salt stress in special circumstances. In this study, salt stress induced by various salts was investigated for a better understanding of salinity.
