Wheat crops usually yield more when grown after another species than wheat. Quantifying the increase and explaining factors that affect will assist farmers to decide on crop sequences. This review quantifies increase, based >900 comparisons of wheat growing a break with The mean in varied crop, ranging from 0.5 t ha–1 oats 1.2 grain legumes. Based overlapping experiments, observed ranking break-crop terms response following was: < canola ≈ mustard flax field peas faba beans chickpeas...
Summary Plant roots exhibit diverse root functional traits to enable soil phosphorus (P) acquisition, including changes in morphology, exudation and mycorrhizal symbioses. Yet, whether these are differently coordinated among crop species enhance P acquisition is unclear. Here, eight for were characterized 16 major herbaceous grown a glasshouse under limiting adequate availability. We found substantial interspecific variation species. Those with thinner showed more branching less first‐order...
Summary Root foraging and root physiology such as exudation of carboxylates into the rhizosphere are important strategies for plant phosphorus (P) acquisition. We used 100 chickpea ( Cicer arietinum ) genotypes with diverse genetic backgrounds to study relative roles morphology in P Plants were grown pots a low‐P sterilized river sand supplied 10 μg g −1 soil Fe PO 4 , poorly soluble form P. There was large genotypic variation (total length, surface area, mean diameter, specific length hair...
ABSTRACT Two key plant adaptations for phosphorus (P) acquisition are carboxylate exudation into the rhizosphere and mycorrhizal symbioses. These target different soil P resources, presumably with carbon costs. We examined effect of inoculation arbuscular fungi (AMF) on amount carboxylates uptake 10 species low‐P adapted Kennedia grown 23 weeks in sand. Inoculation decreased some (up to 50%), dry weight (21%) increased content (23%). There was a positive logarithmic relationship between...
Abstract On the low‐P soils in southeastern Australia, organic crops differ from conventional ones primarily use of relatively insoluble, as opposed to soluble, P fertilisers and non‐use herbicides. As management, particularly elimination soluble fertilisers, is often claimed enhance grain mineral concentrations, we examined wheat on paired farms two sets experiments: (1) four pairs commercial (1991–1993); (2) fertiliser experiments one farm pair where nil was compared with 40 kg ha −1...
Abstract BACKGROUND: While human diets are often deficient in zinc (Zn), the impacts of crop management on Zn cereal grains rarely examined. In this study effect phosphorus (P) fertiliser and sequence (wheat following canola, linola, fallow or pasture) wheat grain concentration bioavailability for humans was investigated. RESULTS: The decreased by 33–39% response to P fertiliser. It also 30–40% lower crops canola than those linola pasture. colonisation arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF)...
