Overview

Greenhouse trial investigates phosphorus fertilizer placement and water content effects on maize growth during drought stress.

Key Points

  • Deep subsurface phosphorus placement enhanced root development under drought stress, but not shoot growth.
  • At the fourth-leaf stage, drought stress increased root biomass by 69.3% in lower soil layers compared to well-watered conditions.
  • This greenhouse trial involved maize and tested three phosphorus amounts and soil layers, alongside varying water content.
  • Findings suggest further field validation is needed to assess long-term impacts of nutrient placement on maize.
