Dam construction causes the accumulation of phosphorus in the sediments of reservoirs and increases the release rate of internal phosphorus (P) loading. This study investigated the longitudinal variability of phosphorus fractions in sediments and the relationship between the contents of phosphorus fractions and its influencing factors of the Manwan Reservoir, Lancang River, Yunnan Province, Chi...

Recent efforts to reduce phosphorus (P) content of corn grain fed to poultry have led to the development of low-phytic-acid corn. Research is needed to evaluate the environmental impact of the application to cropland of manure from animals fed low-phytic-acid corn. The purpose of this research was to determine P losses in runoff from a bare Piedmont soil (cecil clay loam; clayey, kaolinitic, th...

Phytase has been shown to consistently improve the bioavailability of phytate phosphorus for pigs. However, only about 60 to 70% of the phytate P in a corn-soy diet is made available when supplemented with an optimal phytase dose. The use of high available P (HAP) should provide an additional strategy for improving the bioavailability of phytate P in pigs. In experiments 1 and 2, growth perform...

Introduction Phosphorus (P) deficiency hinders cotton ( Gossypium hirustum L.) growth and development, seriously affecting lint yield fiber quality. However, it is still unclear how P fertilizer affects length. Methods Therefore, a two-year (2019-2020) pool-culture experiment was conducted using the split-plot design, with two cultivars (CCRI-79; low-P tolerant SCRC-28; sensitive) as main plot....
