The cycle repeats when this crop is harvested (Figure 1 ... Manure and other organic residues (e.g., biosolids, composted manures, food waste residuals) contain phosphorus in plant available (soluble ...

Phosphorus is a vital nutrient that plays a crucial role in various biological processes, including energy transfer and the formation of DNA and RNA. Understanding the biogeochemical cycles of ...

Plants and microbes are known to secrete enzymes to transform organic phosphorus into bioavailable inorganic phosphorus. Now, researchers report iron oxides can drive the same conversion at comparable ...

Scientists have uncovered that iron oxides, previously thought to trap phosphorus, actually help convert it into a ...
