Influence of short-term macronutrient deprivation in maize on photosynthetic characteristics, transpiration and pigment content

Abstract The aim of the research was to compare the impact of short-term deprivation of selected macronutrients (Ca, K, Mg and P) on the photosynthetic characteristics, transpiration and pigment content in maize. The strongest inhibition of photosynthesis was caused by a deprivation of Mg, which was...
