Effects of Nutrient Antagonism and Synergism on Yield and Fertilizer Use Efficiency

Communications in Soil Science and Plant Analysis, Journal Year: 2017, Volume and Issue: 48(16), P. 1895 - 1920

Published: Sept. 8, 2017

Interaction among plant nutrients can yield antagonistic or synergistic outcomes that influence nutrient use efficiency. To provide insight on this phenomenon, peer-reviewed articles were selected quantified the interaction effects of crop levels. In total 94 described 117 interactions between all macro- and micronutrients for different agricultural crops. 43 cases was synergistic, in 17 antagonistic, 35 zero-interaction; other 23 non-significant (16) showed a negative response (7). Generally: (a) when availability two is characterized as deficient, large increase be expected by diminishing these deficiencies: (b) most macronutrients mutual levels are synergistic; (c) often found divalent cations. Knowledge guide fertilizer design optimization fertilization strategies high yields efficiencies.
