Phosphorus is integral to agriculture and human life. We can’t grow any of our food without it. Of the phosphorus fertilizers applied, perhaps 20% ends up consumed in the final product. Large amounts ...

Phosphorus, the vastly underappreciated 15 th element on the periodic table, is essential to all life as we know it. Phosphorus is the structural backbone of the phosphate nucleotides in DNA and RNA, ...

In the fall of 1802, the German naturalist Alexander von Humboldt arrived in Callao, Peru’s major port, just west of Lima. Humboldt had timed his visit to coincide with a transit of Mercury, which he ...

The best way to minimize fertilizer expenditure and maximize efficiency is one you’ve probably heard of before. The 4Rs — right product, right rate, right time and right placement — tell you exactly ...

Plants can't do without phosphorus. But there is often a 'withdrawal limit' on how much phosphorus they can get from the soil. A new study looks at how liming, soil management history and enzymes ...
