Contribution of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi, phosphate–solubilizing bacteria, and silicon to P uptake by plant

H Etesami, BR Jeong, BR Glick - Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021 - frontiersin.org
Phosphorus (P) availability is usually low in soils around the globe. Most soils have a
deficiency of available P; if they are not fertilized, they will not be able to satisfy the P …

Hidden miners–the roles of cover crops and soil microorganisms in phosphorus cycling through agroecosystems

Acquisition of phosphorus and nitrogen in the rhizosphere and plant growth promotion by microorganisms

AE Richardson, JM Barea, AM McNeill… - 2009 - Springer
The rhizosphere is a complex environment where roots interact with physical, chemical and
