Abstract: 【Objectives】 Phosphorous uptake of wheat and the regional variations is the base to guild reasonable phosphorous fertilization strategy. This paper aimed to investigate the P absorption amount and the response to phosphorous fertilization in the main wheat-planting regions. 【Methods】 Data were collected from the published papers and field experiments, in which the wheat yields, P absorption in both grains and straw, P uptakes in the shoots and P concentrations in grains and straw were analyzed in the Huang-Huang-Hai winter wheat planting region (HH), Northwest China spring-winter wheat planting region (NW) and Changjiang River winter wheat planting region (CR), and the wheat P absorption under different yield levels was studied. 【Results】 The results showed that wheat grain yields, P contents in grains and straw, above-ground P uptake, P absorptions in both grains and straw and P amounts needed to produce per 100 kg grains had significant regional variations. The mean grain yield in China was 6.18 t/hm2 with a variation coefficient of 33.1%. The mean values of P concentrations in both grains and straw were 0.32% and 0.08%, and the corresponding variation coefficients were 34.3% and 75.0%. The shoot P uptake and P absorption in grains and in straw were 26.4 kg/hm2, 17.0 kg/hm2 and 5.4 kg/hm2 with the variation coefficients of 58.6%, 55.1% and 94.8%, respectively. Excluding the P concentrations in grains, all other parameters were highest in HH, and lowest in NW. The averaged P amount needed to produce 100kg grain was 0.46 kg with the variation of 37.0% in China, and HH had the highest value of 0.50 kg, while the amounts for YR and NW were 0.44 kg and 0.41, respectively. As increasing wheat yield, N requirement per 100 kg grain was increased consequently, and the N requirements were 0.41 kg, 0.43 kg, 0.50 kg, 0.52 kg for wheat yields 4.50 t/hm2, 4.50-6.50 t/hm2, 6.50-8.50 t/hm2, and 8.50 t/hm2, respectively. The P concentrations in grains maintained the certain levels with 0.32%, 0.31%, 0.31% and 0.33%, respectively for the corresponding yield levels. The P concentrations in straw increased with the corresponding values of 0.05%, 0.07%, 0.11% and 0.12% for the grain yield levels. 【Conclusions】 Differences of temperature, water and soil in the wheat-planting regions caused the differences of P absorption characteristics. For improving wheat yield and N use efficiency, wheat grain yield and P absorption for a region should be taken into account.
