Phosphorus (P) is one of the essential macronutrients for plant growth, being a highly
required resource to improve the productive performance of several crops, especially in …

Crop productivity and yield are adversely affected by the deficiency of P in agricultural soil.
Phosphate fertilizers are used at a large scale to improve crop yields globally. With the rapid …

In the tropics, warm temperatures and high rainfall contribute to acidic soil formation
because of the significant leaching of base cations (K+, Ca2+, Mg2+, and Na+), followed by …

Groundwater is an essential source of drinking and irrigation water. However, elevated Fe
and Mn concentrations in groundwater have been found in recent decades, which can …

Plastic particles can impact the environmental fate and bioavailability of essential inorganic
micronutrients and non-essential (toxic) metals. The sorption of metals to environmental …

Crop production encounters challenges due to the dearth of nitrogen (N) and phosphorus
(P), while excessive chemical fertilizer use causes environmental hazards. The use of N …

Recent actions aimed at creating an environmentally sustainable economy, as well as very
high inorganic fertiliser prices, have begun a 'renaissance'of alternative fertilisation. It …

Soil acidity is a major problem of agriculture in many parts of the world. Soil acidity causes
multiple problems such as nutrient deficiency, elemental toxicity and adverse effects on …

Adding industrial and agricultural wastes to farmland can increase soil available
phosphorus (P) pool and boost crop production, but the process affecting soil P …

Phosphorus (P) is one of the most important elements required for crop production. The
ideal soil pH for its absorption by plants is about 6.5, but in alkaline and acidic soils, most of …
