Fertilizer placement modulates the effects of soil metabolite formulations on nutrient status, phenylpropanoid–flavonoid metabolism, and sensory quality in flue-cured tobacco
Background The quality of flue-cured tobacco depends on nutrient acquisition, carbon–nitrogen allocation, and quality-related secondary metabolism, particularly phenylpropanoid and flavonoid pathways. However, whether fertilizer placement and exogenous soil metabolite formulations can jointly improve leaf nutritional p...
