Soilless cultivation represent a valid opportunity for the agricultural production sector,
especially in areas characterized by severe soil degradation and limited water availability …

Modern agriculture relies on mineral fertilization. Unlike other major macronutrients,
potassium (K+) is not incorporated into organic matter but remains as soluble ion in the cell …

Interaction among plant nutrients can yield antagonistic or synergistic outcomes that
influence nutrient use efficiency. To provide insight on this phenomenon, peer-reviewed …

The soil contributes to the main pool of crucial mineral nutrients for plant growth. These
essential nutrients play an important role in the formation of plant biomolecules, perform …

China is the world's largest producer of potato (Solanum tuberosum L.). Potato productivity
in China is limited by water shortage. Mulching applications can effectively modify the plant …

Nitrogen (N) and potassium (K) are essential macronutrients for plants growth; however, the
mechanism by which K mediates negative effects on ammonium-sensitive plants is still …

Potassium (K+) and nitrogen (N) are essential nutrients, and their absorption and distribution
within the plant must be coordinated for optimal growth and development. Potassium is …

Fertilizer Use Efficiency (FUE) is a measure of the potential of an applied fertilizer to
increase its impact on the uptake and utilization of nitrogen (N) present in the soil/plant …

The balance between crop yield, quality and soil nutrient status can be manipulated by
exploiting nutrient interactions. Field experiments were conducted in citrus orchards in …

Most studies found the benefit of biochar in increasing plant photosynthetic rate (PR), but
how experimental conditions affect PR response to biochar application remains unclear …
