Maize grain yields and profitability are enhanced in temperate growing areas as a result of
an early sowing. However, cool conditions may constrain the uptake of nitrogen (N) and …

Limited nutrient availability is one of the major challenges in organic farming. Little is known
about nutrient budgets of organic farms, the underlying factors or effects on soil fertility. We …

Background Phosphorus (P) is a vital and non-substitutable nutrient for agricultural
production. However, P is often used inefficiently in European agriculture. To ensure food …

The pollutant input and the risk of contamination by long-term application of recycled P
fertilizers (RPFs) in European agricultural soils were estimated by a mass balance …

Agricultural practices require a comprehensive transformation to preserve natural resources
and secure high-quality food supply. Conventional and organic farming practices offer …

Phosphorus (P) is an important nutrient for all plant growth and it has become a critical and
often imbalanced element in modern agriculture. A proper crop fertilization is crucial for …

Phosphorus (P) is a limited resource but plays an important role in crop production. Because
of the high P binding capacity in soils, changes in soil P availability due to different P …

The purpose of this study was to evaluate how the different phosphorus fractions in soils
contribute to plant uptake, based on the combination between the sequential P fractionation …

Soil C: N: P stoichiometry plays a vital role in nutrient cycling in ecosystems, but its
importance to P transformation in paddy soil remains unclear. We investigated the effect of …

Nutrient supply to organic farms is a highly discussed topic in Europe, due to the restricted
availability of external fertilizer resources and the use of contentious inputs. To optimize the …
