Chemical Elements in Plant and Soil: Parameters Controlling Essentiality
Earlier works on plant essential elements have revealed a series of complicated, counter-intuitive relationships among various chemical elements in different plant species, due to both unlike usage of certain elements in plants and to different carriers e
