Genotype-Specific Differences in Phosphorus Efficiency of Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.)

Potato is considered having a low phosphorus (P) efficiency compared to other crops. Therefore, P fertilization requirements are high. New cultivars with improved P efficiency may contribute to save limited mineral P sources and to reduce eutrophication of surface water bodies. The present study aims to characterize the P efficiency of different potato genotypes and to identify mechanisms, which improve P efficiency in cultivated potato. A...
