Nitrate combined with polyphosphate enhances Lupinus albus growth and photosynthesis, increasing shoot biomass by 84% and shoot P uptake by 19-fold.
- Why it matters: Understanding nutrient interactions is essential for optimizing plant growth and nutrient use efficiency, especially under varying soil nutrient conditions.
- What they did: The study evaluated the effects of N forms (NO3- vs. NH4+) and P sources (orthophosphate vs. polyphosphate) on biomass, photosynthesis, and root traits in Lupinus albus using controlled experiments.
- The result: Findings reveal that N form significantly influences growth and metabolism, with nitrate and polyphosphate promoting better nutrient uptake, photosynthetic efficiency, and root development, while ammonium impairs these processes.
