In episode 10 of Corn College TV, Farm Journal Field Agronomist Ken Ferrie explains how phosphorus is available to the corn plant like a drip IV. “We try to make our best guess how much phosphorus is ...
The phosphorus cycle is a vital component of global biogeochemistry, governing nutrient availability and ecosystem productivity. In recent years, research has expanded our understanding of phosphorus ...
Phosphorus (P) is an important nutrient element in plant photosynthesis. However, the adsorption of mineral P via leaching and erosion leads to a decrease in P availability and consequently P ...
Phosphorus is a building block of all living cells. It is part of the structure of DNA. Cells use it to make membranes and many other molecules used in metabolism. In the earth's current environment, ...
The major biogeochemical cycles that keep the present-day Earth habitable are linked by a network of feedbacks, which has led to a broadly stable chemical composition of the oceans and atmosphere over ...
Crops often receive beneficial nutrients such as phosphorus (P) from manure or commercial fertilizer applications. However, the Delaware Nutrient Management Law (3 Del. C. § 2247) limits the amount of ...
New research sheds light on how pollutants from aerosols and river run-off are impacting coastal seas. The research identified an 'Anthropogenic Nitrogen Pump' which changes the phosphorus cycle and ...
When you grow corn, the first nutrient you think about is nitrogen (N). But phosphorus (P) is equally important. The right timing and placement can boost yield—up to 30 bu. to 40 bu. per acre in years ...
Disrupting Earth’s chemical cycles brings trouble. But planet-warming carbon dioxide isn’t the only element whose cycle we’ve turned wonky—we’ve got a phosphorus problem too. And it’s a big one, ...
