Monopotassium phosphite PART A. Review on the possible use of monopotassium phosphite as fertilizer
نویسندگان
چکیده
The authors have been asked for a review regarding the possible use of monopotassium phosphite as fertilizer based on both current scientific knowledge as well as on the documentation provided by the company Tradecorp. This review is based on a literature survey of papers in peer-reviewed journals. Tradecorp has documented results from 4 studies in Spain and France underlying their claims that monopotassium phosphite has beneficial nutritional effects. Not being proficient in the Spanish and French language, we have nonetheless critically analysed both the data presented in these studies as well as the interpretation of the results in the application by the company. The following therefore presents our assessment of the current literature and of the claims by the company.

Factors influencing the efficiency of foliar sprays of monopotassium phosphate in the olive
Olive trees have been traditionally cultivated in dry conditions as it is a crop very well adapted to Mediterranean dry lands. Foliar fertilization is a widespread application method used by olive growers to correct frequent deficient levels of potassium in olive trees under rainfed conditions. Monopotassium Phosphate (MKP) is an economic and easily available fertilizer and a fast source of P a...
متن کاملIdentification and heterologous expression of genes involved in anaerobic dissimilatory phosphite oxidation by Desulfotignum phosphitoxidans.
Desulfotignum phosphitoxidans is a strictly anaerobic, Gram-negative bacterium that utilizes phosphite as the sole electron source for homoacetogenic CO2 reduction or sulfate reduction. A genomic library of D. phosphitoxidans, constructed using the fosmid vector pJK050, was screened for clones harboring the genes involved in phosphite oxidation via PCR using primers developed based on the amino...

In this study, the effect of exogenpous Azelaic acid and potassium phosphite on some antioxidant enzymes activity, lignin synthesis and metabolic pathways were investigated in Eryngium caucasicum. This experiment was performed in a completely randomized design in controlled consitions. Plants at the three-leaf stage were treated with potassium phosphite (2 g/L) and azelaic acid (1 mM) by sprayi...
متن کاملPhosphite: a novel P fertilizer for weed management and pathogen control
The availability of orthophosphate (Pi) is a key determinant of crop productivity because its accessibility to plants is poor due to its conversion to unavailable forms. Weed's competition for this essential macronutrient further reduces its bio-availability. To compensate for the low Pi use efficiency and address the weed hazard, excess Pi fertilizers and herbicides are routinely applied, resu...

Phytophthora root rot causes extensive damage to feeder roots of avocado. If uncontrolled, it results in a progressive decline in tree health and the eventual death of the tree (12, 14, 15). Phytophthora root rot is a major factor limiting avocado production world wide. Effective control of Phytophthora root rot of avocado has been achieved with fosetyl-al (Aliette® Rhone-Poulenc, aluminum tris...
