Abstract

Macronutrients accumulate as free ions in all plant organs when supplies are abundant but growth requirements are generally satisfied before high concentrations are attained. Low threshold concentrations are necessary to ensure maximum growth and in wheat leaves these are around 10 mM nitrate, 5 mM phosphate, 0.5 mAf sulfate and 130 mM potassium. The measurement of inorganic ion concentrations in leaves has potential as a diagnostic tool and might enable soil nutrient supplies to be more accurately matched with crop needs.
