Studies on absorption and translocation of phosphorus using radioactive superphosphate (32 P) in coffee plants
Absorption and translocation (downward as well as lateral) of phosphate ions from foliar applied superphosphate solution (pH 6.5, labelled with 32P) are considerably higher in Coffea arabica L. cv. S.795 than in Coffea canephora Pierre cv. S.274 plants. The differential absorption and translocation of phosphate to various plant parts and its accumulation in enlarged flower buds suggest the possibility that the requirement of phosphorus for flower bud enlargement and blossom (anthesis) is higher in arabica than in robusta
