Biological damage caused by macronutrient deficiency in watermelon plants is still not known, and may lead to nutritional disorders and alterations in absorption and utilization efficiencies, depending on the evaluated ...

Efficient use of the resources required by plants to sustain crop production is considered an important objective in agriculture. In this context, the idea of developing crops with an enhanced ability to utilize mineral ...

An important objective of plant research is to improve the efficiency in the utilization of major nutrients, particularly nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. Several definitions of internal nutrient utilization efficiency ...

Salt stress is known to negatively affect the fundamental processes in plants, reducing their growth and yield. The role of Silicon (Si) to protect the sorghum and sunflower plants against salinity stress was assessed. The ...

Plant species differ in their ability to absorb, translocate and utilize nutrients in their metabolism. Information about the influence of zinc with regard to nutritional efficiency in starfruit rootstocks is scarce in ...

Estimation of crop nutrient demand, seed nutrient removal, and nutrient use efficiency (yield to nutrient uptake ratio) are crucial for pursuing both balanced nutrition and more sustainable farming systems. However, the ...
