Other claims from this paper (4)
- Intervention effect Excess CuSO 4 reduced maize growth and nutrient acquisition and increased Cu accumulation and antioxidant activity.
- Intervention effect Cu chelated by EDTA produced no phytotoxic symptoms.
- Intervention effect EDTA prevented toxic Cu accumulation and improved nutrient homeostasis.
- Intervention effect Citrate coincided with high plant Cu but EDTA limited its phytotoxicity.
