Corn Growth and Composition in Relation to Soil Fertility: II. Uptake of N, P, and K and Their Distribution in Different Plant Parts during the Growing Season1

J. J. Hanway

Open publisher page 137 citations

Abstract

Synopsis Differences in soil fertility influenced the amounts of N, P, and K taken up by corn plants, but did not markedly change the seasonal pattern of uptake and distribution of these elements in the plants. Large proportions of the N and P and a small proportion of the K were translocated from other plant parts to the grain. Late in the season K was lost from the leaves to the stalks.
