Gas nutrients uptake by the leaves 陆生植物可以通过气孔吸收气态养分,如CO2 O2以及SO2等。 Leaves and other aerial plant organs are well able to take up nutrients in gaseous form such as CO2,O2, and SO, via the stomata

Uptake of mineral nutrients by the leaves 陆生植物因叶表皮细胞的外壁上覆盖有蜡质及 角质层,对矿质元素的吸收有明显障碍 The process of nutrients uptake by leaf cells is the same as that of nutrient absorption by plant root ce The uptake of nutrients in ionic forms from solution is limited as the outer epidermal cells of the leaf are covered by the cuticle(k)which occurs in all terrestrial(陆生) plant species. The cuticle consist of two components cutin(角质) and wax (腊质)

Uptake of mineral nutrients by the leaves Waxes represents the water proofing component of the cuticle. Due to their hydrophobic nature waxes impede the diffusion of hydrophilic ions. So the leaves are not constructed for the uptake of hydrophilic ions dissolved in water. Nevertheless uptake of aqueous plant nutrients at least in small quantities

The characteristics of foliar nutrition Advantage of foliar nutrition 1. Nutrients can be absorbed quickly 2. Foliar application is particularly useful under conditions where nutrients uptake from the soil is restricted 3. Avoids the problem of nutrient fixation in the soil. Such as iron. Mn Zn and Cu. which are frequently fixed by the soil particles
