The phrase "additive for plant" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts related to agriculture, gardening, or horticulture, specifically when discussing substances that enhance plant growth or health.
Example: "This new fertilizer is an effective additive for plant growth, providing essential nutrients that promote healthy development."
Alternatives: "plant supplement" or "growth enhancer for plants".
Testing for allelic effects in BOF-ABS, HEI ABS and YIE-ABS, we observed significant additive effects for plant height and yield but not for flowering time.
In this study, we performed QTL mapping in two genotypically distinct rhizobium treatments to map additive or epistatic QTL for plant fitness traits and to determine whether they were differentially detected depending on the rhizobium genotype.
Natural feed additives of plant origin are generally believed to be safer, healthier and less subject to hazards for humans and animals.
The root biomass trait QTL had five different allelic patterns, with the UV effect lost, drought effect lost, single allele additive, and dose-dependent/additive patterns as seen for plant height and leaf biomass traits.
For plant height and silking date, results underline both additive and dominant QTL, in similar proportions.
Additionally, three additive-effect QTL corresponding to three genomic regions were detected for plant height (HT) (Additional files 8 and 9, and Figure 2).
For plant height and silking date the pattern was rather additive but dominance (and even overdominance) could be observed at some QTL.
Cued by the additive, the plant swiftly alters the chemistry of its leaf surface to beckon female parasitic wasps.
We indeed noted that when a QTL detected for Z2 overlapped a QTL detected on the global design with no significant dominance effect, this QTL almost always presented significant additive-by-additive interactions (e.g., QTL no. 11 for grain moisture, QTL no. 7 for silking date, and QTL no. 6 for plant height).
Maher Damak, a PhD student in the Varanasi Research Group in the Department of Mechanical Engineering, developed a polymer additive for agricultural sprays so that pesticides stick to the plants instead of bouncing off.
