(A) Plant P concentration at the second harvest, (B) total plant P at the second harvest (i.e. with ten fully expanded main stem leaves), (C) phosphorus productivity (i.e. Pprod), and (D) phosphorus uptake rate (PUR) of Cullen cinereum, Kennedia nigricans and Lotus australis when grown at low, medium or high temperature with addition of 60 mg kg−1 of P as FePO4 (mean ± s.e., n = 4). The error bars above the high temperature treatment in (A) are for P concentration of plants that received 60 mg kg−1 of P as KH2PO4; Pprod (C) and PUR (D) were calculated using treatment means at the first and second harvest and therefore the s.e. could not be calculated.
