Management of soil phosphorus and plant adaptation mechanisms to phosphorus stress for sustainable crop production: a review

Managing Phosphorus for Crop Production

Phosphorus is a macronutrient that plays a number of important roles in plants. It is a component of nucleic acids, so it plays a vital role in plant reproduction, of which grain production is an important result. It is also critical in biological energy transfer processes that are vital for life and growth. Adequate phosphorus results in higher grain production, improved crop quality, greater ...

Soil Phosphorus Tests and Transformation Analysis to Quantify Plant Availability: A Review

Enhancing plant phosphorus use efficiency for sustainable cropping.

Phosphorus (P) is one of the least available mineral nutrients to the plants in many cropping environments. Sub-optimal P nutrition can lead to yield losses in the range of 10% to 15% of the maximal yields. P deficiency is more critical in highly withered soils as well as in calcareous and alkaline soils. Amelioration attempts by addition of phosphatic fertilizers are economically and ecologica...

Determine a Regression Model between Phosphorus of Soil Saturation Extract and Various Organs of Washington Navel Orange for Recommendation of Phosphorus Fertilizer

Several methods have been proposed for recommendation of phosphorus fertilizers. Each of them only examines the concentration of phosphorus in the soil or plant, while none of them investigates the correlation between phosphorus concentrations in the soil and plant. In this study, a method called "integrated plant and soil system" (IPSS) is proposed to describe phosphorus fertilizer. In this sy...

Winter Cereal–Corn Double Crop Forage Production and Phosphorus Removal

Maximizing P removal with cropping can increase regulated Pbased manuring rates or reduce soil test P in manure-enriched soils. The potential for increased P removal with winter forage–corn silage double cropping was evaluated in a 3-yr study at Parma, ID. Winter barley (Hordeum vulgare L.), and both winter and spring genotypes of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) and triticale (3Triticosecale Wittm...
