D. Rodriguez et al., PHOSPHORUS DEFICIENCY AFFECTS THE EARLY DEVELOPMENT OF WHEAT PLANTS, Journal of agronomy and crop science, 173(1), 1994, pp. 69-72
The effect of phosphorus nutrition on the development of wheat plants,
was studied. Phosphorus deficiency increased the duration of the phyl
lochron when the concentration in shoots was less than 0.8%. Phosphoru
s concentration in shoots appeared to be a good indicator of the effec
t of plant phosphorus status on wheat development.
