Phosphorus (P) is a vital soil macronutrient required by plants for optimum growth and
development. However, its availability is limited because of fixation. The phosphorus fixation …

Although the spectrum of effective methods and techniques that allow determination of
inorganic or total phosphorus is impressive, more precise analysis of these substances in …

In agro-ecosystems, fertilization practices are crucial for sustaining crop productivity. Here,
based on a 50-year long-term experiment, we studied the influence of fertilization practices …

The phosphorus (P) content of crop residues and its availability to a subsequent crop can
range from agronomically insignificant, to quantities in excess of crop P requirement …

Phosphorus nuclear magnetic resonance (31P NMR) spectroscopy is an important tool for
the study of soil P and has significantly advanced our knowledge of soil P forms, particularly …

Foliar application of zinc (Zn) to crops is an effective way to increase the grain concentration
of Zn. However, the development of more efficient foliar Zn fertilizers is limited by a lack of …

The use of cover crops and crop residues is a common strategy to mitigate sediment and
nutrient losses from land to water. In cold climates, elevated dissolved P losses can occur …

Understanding legacy phosphorus (P) build-up and draw-down from long-term fertilization is
essential for effective P management. Using replicated plots from Saskatchewan, Canada …

Organic phosphorus (P) in grazed pastures/grasslands could sustain production systems
that historically relied on inorganic P fertiliser. Interactions between inorganic P, plants and …

Effective use of soil phosphorus (P) for crop production requires an understanding of how P
pools are stabilized and cycled within soil aggregates, rather than assuming that P …
