Phosphorus (P) is the second important key plant nutrient after nitrogen. An adequate supply
of P is therefore required for proper functioning and various metabolisms of plants. Majority …

Most agronomic soils contain large reserves of total phosphorus [P], but the fixation and
precipitation of P cause P deficiency, and in turn, restrict the growth of crops severely …

Phosphate is one of the most important nutrients for plant growth and development, and only
