Phosphorus (P) is a macronutrient required for the proper functioning of plants. Because P
plays a vital role in every aspect of plant growth and development, deficiencies can reduce …

There is increasing evidence that the origins of organic acids (OAs) are as important as their
roles and pathways of production. This review focuses on information about challenges …

Any successful strategy aimed at enhancing crop productivity with microbial products
ultimately relies on the ability to scale at regional to global levels. Microorganisms that show …

Plant-bacteria-soil interactions are the determinants of soil fertility and plant health. The
success in the use of the beneficial microorganisms requires an excellent understanding of …

Agriculture is heavily dependent on the use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides to achieve
higher yields. This dependence is associated with problems such as environmental …

Cadmium (Cd) and nickel (Ni) are two of the most toxic metals, wreaking havoc on human
health and agricultural output. Furthermore, high levels of Cd and Ni in the soil environment …

Phosphorus (P) is the second important key plant nutrient after nitrogen. An adequate supply
of P is therefore required for proper functioning and various metabolisms of plants. Majority …

Plants acquire phosphorus from soil solution as phosphate anion. It is the least mobile
element in plant and soil contrary to other macronutrients. It precipitates in soil as …

Compared with the other major nutrients, phosphorus is by far the least mobile and available
to plants in most soil conditions. Although, phosphorus is abundant in soils in both organic …

Most agronomic soils contain large reserves of total phosphorus [P], but the fixation and
precipitation of P cause P deficiency, and in turn, restrict the growth of crops severely …
