Phosphorous uptake and utilization efficiency in cluster root and non-cluster root forming species of the Core Cape Subregion, South Africa

The Core Cape Subregion (CCR) is made up of a mosaic of highly weathered and nutrient leached soil substrates in the Western Cape. Plant available phosphorus (P) in these soils is very low, generally ranging from 0.4-3.7 µg P g-1 soil and as a result plants have evolved a number of traits to enhanc...
