due to the limited availability of phosphorus in soil especially calcareous soils, it is important to investigate strategies to increase ability of phosphorus uptake by plant. evaluating the effect of zeolite (clinoptilolite), irrigation levels and preferential flows, simultaneously and independently, on increasing phosphorus uptake by corn was objective of this study. potted study was done in ...

Percentage net phosphorus availability (NPHA) and set phosphorus utilization (NPHU) of the phosphorus contained in a heat-sterilized poultry litter (PL) as compared to feed grade dicalcium phosphate (DCP) for lambs was assessed by the "slope" method. The method was based on the evaluation of the function of apparent phosphorus absorption (NPHA), or retention (NPHU), on phosphorus intake. Nitrog...

The intriguing properties of phosphorene motivate scientists to further explore the structures and properties of phosphorus materials. Here, we report a new allotrope named K4 phosphorus composed of three-coordinated phosphorus atoms in non-layered structure which is not only dynamically and mechanically stable, but also possesses thermal stability comparable to that of the orthorhombic black p...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Disorders of mineral metabolism are more common in African Americans with CKD than in European Americans with CKD. Previous studies have focused on the differences in mineral metabolism by self-reported race, making it difficult to delineate the importance of environmental compared with biologic factors. DESIGN, SETTING, PARTICIPANTS, & MEASUREMENTS In a cross-sectio...

To compare phosphorus intake and renal phosphorus regulation between thermally injured patients and multiple trauma patients, 40 consecutive critically ill patients, 20 with thermal injury and 20 with multiple trauma, who required enteral tube feeding were evaluated. Phosphorus intakes were recorded for 14 days from the initiation of tube feeding which was started 1 to 3 days postinjury. Serum ...

this study was designed to induce nutritional hypophosphatemia to investigate the possibility of intervascular hemolysis in the control (7 lambs) and test (8 lambs) groups. phosphorus of the ration for the test and control groups was formulated as 0.063 % and 0.34% of dry matter, respectively. the jugular vein blood samples were weekly taken for inorganic phosphorus, alkaline phosphatase, billi...

Improvement of phosphorus circulation in the soil is necessary to enhance phosphorus availability to plants. Phosphorus circulation activity is an index of soil's ability to supply soluble phosphorus from organic phosphorus in the soil solution. To understand the relationship among phosphorus circulation activity; bacterial biomass; pH; and Fe, Al, and Ca concentrations (described as mineral co...

Restoring historic lake-fringe wetlands is considered a favorable means of reducing lake phosphorus levels; however, it is unclear how various strategies for managing wetland connectivity influence phosphorus release. We investigated the relationships between temperature and soil characteristics of restored wetlands to identify management strategies that minimize external phosphorus loading to ...

Problem statement: There is evidence that the type of fiber influences the development of nephrocalcinosis in rats, but the effect of pectin was unknown. Approach: The effects of dietary pectin and cellulose on kidney calcification were studied in female rats. The diets used contained either 0.4-0.6% phosphorus and either cellulose (10%, w/w) or pectin. The purified diets used were balanced for...

appropriate management of soil phosphorus (p) fertility in highly calcareous soils of iran as around the world should rely upon sound knowledge about the phosphorus reserve and its bioavailability. despite numerous reports on the positive effects of vesicular arbuscular mycorrhizae (vam) fungi on phosphorus uptake which is associated to ectomycorrhiza as a branch of two major branches of group ...
