In episode 10 of Corn College TV, Farm Journal Field Agronomist Ken Ferrie explains how phosphorus is available to the corn plant like a drip IV. “We try to make our best guess how much phosphorus is ...

The phosphorus cycle is a vital component of global biogeochemistry, governing nutrient availability and ecosystem productivity. In recent years, research has expanded our understanding of phosphorus ...

Phosphorus (P) is an important nutrient element in plant photosynthesis. However, the adsorption of mineral P via leaching and erosion leads to a decrease in P availability and consequently P ...

Phosphorus is necessary for plant growth and energy. Phosphorous is an essential nutrient involved in most of the biochemical reactions in the plant: photosynthesis, respiration, synthesis of proteins ...

Northwestern University-led researchers have discovered a new way that nature cycles phosphorus, a finding that uncovers a missing piece of Earth’s puzzling phosphorus cycle. The research will be ...

New research sheds light on how pollutants from aerosols and river run-off are impacting coastal seas. The research identified an 'Anthropogenic Nitrogen Pump' which changes the phosphorus cycle and ...

FOR his presidential address to the Geological Section of the Congress of the South Eastern Union of Scientific Societies, held on October 14, Dr. K. P. Oakley took as his subject "Man and the ...

Crops often receive beneficial nutrients such as phosphorus (P) from manure or commercial fertilizer applications. However, the Delaware Nutrient Management Law (3 Del. C. § 2247) limits the amount of ...

A four-year field experiment conducted on the shores of restored Lake Mustijärv in Viljandi, Estonia, has revealed that recycling phosphorus-rich lake sediments back to agriculture could have positive ...

Most phosphorus in the environment is in an organic form that plants cannot directly use, and traditional understanding suggested only enzymes could convert it into the bioavailable inorganic form.
