Soil Solution Phosphate and Plant Root Interactions
Article shared by :
After reading this article you will learn about soil solution phosphate and plant root interactions. Phosphates are absorbed by plants mostly as primary (H2PO4–) and secondary (HPO42-) orthophosphate ions which are present in the soil solution. The amount of each species of orthophosphate ions are controlled by the pH of the soil solution. At pH […]
