Valuing increased zinc (Zn) fertiliser-use in Pakistan (2016)
Journal Article
Joy, E. J., Ahmad, W., Zia, M. H., Kumssa, D. B., Young, S. D., Ander, E. L., …Broadley, M. R. (2017). Valuing increased zinc (Zn) fertiliser-use in Pakistan. Plant and Soil, 411(1-2), 139–150. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11104-016-2961-7

Background and Aims: Use of zinc (Zn) fertilisers may be cost-effective in increasing crop yields and in alleviating dietary Zn deficiency. However, Zn fertilisers are underutilised in many countries despite the widespread occurrence of Zn-deficient... Read More about Valuing increased zinc (Zn) fertiliser-use in Pakistan.

A novel Brassica–rhizotron system to unravel the dynamic changes in root system architecture of oilseed rape under phosphorus deficiency (2016)
Journal Article
Yuan, P., Ding, G., Cai, H., Jin, K.-M., Broadley, M. R., Xu, F., & Shi, L. (in press). A novel Brassica–rhizotron system to unravel the dynamic changes in root system architecture of oilseed rape under phosphorus deficiency. Annals of Botany, 118(2), https://doi.org/10.1093/aob/mcw083

Background and Aims: An important adaptation of plants to phosphorus (P) deficiency is to alter root system architecture (RSA) to increase P acquisition from the soil, but soil-based observations of RSA are technically challenging, especially in matu...
