Background Phosphorus (P) is a limiting nutrient in many agroecosystems and costly
fertilizer inputs can cause negative environmental impacts. Cover crops constitute a …

Food and nutritional requirements for the increasing human population in SSA call for
sustainable intensification in the current agricultural land. Research has identified …

Soil degradation in Brazil is a concern due to intensive agricultural production. Combining
conservation practice, such as no-tillage, with winter cover crops may increase microbial …

Crop rotation and soil management can promote expressive changes in accumulated
(legacy) soil phosphorus (P) lability since cover crops can cycle more P into plant tissue, and …

Biochar has positive effects as a soil acidity amendment which is a global concern.
However, few studies have been reported on the effect of aged biochar on soil acidity …

Globally, about 30% of the ice-free land, comprising large proportion of agricultural land, is
affected by soil acidity which is potentially limiting agricultural productivity and causing …

Growing cover crops to recycle soil nutrients in no-tillage systems provide nutrients
accumulation in more labile forms in the soil surface reducing the demand for fertilizers. This …

The changes in soil chemical properties caused by surface lime application depend on the
application dose, reaction time, and are limited to the top few centimeters of the soil profile …

Moving toward more sustainable sources for managing phosphorus (P) nutrition in
agroecosystems, organic phosphorus (Po) derived from organic inputs and soil is …

The low solubility of lime (CaCO 3) and the absence of soil disturbance in fields under no-
tillage (NT) may diminish the effectiveness of surface liming to reduce exchangeable Al …
