Agricultural productivity depends on the use of phosphorus (P) of which not only the topsoil,
but also the subsoil, can hold immense stocks. To assess their importance for plant nutrition …

Phosphorus deficiency is wide-spread due to the poor solubility of soil P and the rapid
formation of poorly available P after P addition. Microbes play a key role in soil P dynamics …

Aims This study aimed to investigate the effects of coexistence with faba bean, a phosphorus
(P)-efficient crop, on soil-accumulated P use by a maize/faba bean intercropping system on …

The fate and availability of P derived from granular fertilisers in an alkaline Calcarosol soil
were examined in a 65-year field trial in a semi-arid environment (annual rainfall 325 mm) …

Australian cotton production predominantly occurs on Vertisols. The average lint yield of
cotton grown in Australia is 2 260–2 700 kg· hm− 2, which is 2.5 to 3 times the world …

Maintaining an appropriate soil phosphorus level is key to ensure sustainable phosphorus
management for crop production and to minimise phosphorus losses to water bodies …

Much remains unknown regarding the behaviour of P in cropping soils. We have examined
a low-input long-tern cropping system not receiving P fertilizers in subtropical Queensland …

Biochar is a soil amendment for carbon sequestration and contaminant remediation.
However, there is relatively little information on the impact of biochar on soil microorganisms …

Crop production in the tropics and sub-tropics increasingly relies on phosphorus (P)
fertilisers to maintain crop yields. As a result, there is a need to better understand the …

Soil legacy phosphorus (P) represents a substantial secondary P resource to postpone the
global P crisis. To fully utilize this P reserve, the transformation of legacy P speciation in a …
