Plant Molybdenum Uptake as Mediated by Synergism with Phosphorus but Antagonism with Sulfur in a Nitrogen-Fertilized and Mown Meadow

Differential biomass and nutrient accumulation in perennial ryegrass accessions under excess water treatment in field conditions during winter

“…This may indicate a potential decrease in quality for some micronutrients under flooded conditions. Mo content exhibited the highest decrease due to flood, with less than half of the content observed in control samples, probably related with a decrease in soil availability under anoxic conditions, due to an increase of reducing Mo forms (Mo IV and V) in organic compounds that are usually less soluble and less available (Stiefel 2002) as well as by nutrient interactions in plant uptake, with the increase in plant sulphur absorption possibly inducing antagonistic effects on plant Mo uptake, while reductions in plant phosphorus content weakens the synergistic uptake of Mo by plants with nitrogen addition (Li et al 2023).…”
