Nutrient supply by mass flow and diffusion to maize plants in response to soil aggregate size and water potential Importância do fluxo de massa e da difusão no suprimento de nutrientes ao milho e da composição do exsudato xilématico em resposta ao tamanho dos agregados e ao potencial da água do solo
Nutrients are basically transported to the roots by mass flow and diffusion. The aim of this study was to quantify the contribution of these two mechanisms to the acquisition of macronutrients (N, P, K, Ca, Mg, and S) and cationic micronutrients (Fe, Mn, Zn, and Cu) by maize plants as well as xylem...
