The review summarizes the literature and the current knowledge on the effect of lime on soil
chemical properties and crop productivity. Most of investigators confirmed that lime …

Phosphorus (P) is an essential plant nutrient that is required for all major developmental
processes and reproduction in plants (Marschner 1995). P is involved in plant energy …

Phosphate rock (PR) is an alternative fertilizer to increase the P content of P-deficient
weathered soils. We evaluated the effects of fertilizer form on indicators of biological cycling …

In the Sub-Saharan Africa, soil-fertility depletion in smallholder farms is the fundamental
biophysical root cause for declining per capita food production. In the soils of this region …

Featured Application Authors are encouraged to provide a concise description of the specific
application or a potential application of the work. This section is not mandatory. Abstract …

Phosphorus is an essential plant nutrient, but global population growth has dramatically
reduced the availability of phosphorus fertilizer resources. Despite this scarcity, there remain …

Acidic soils limit the production potential of crops because of low availability of basic cations
and excess of hydrogen (H+) and aluminium (Al3+) in exchangeable forms. In the western …

Crop production in sub-Sahara Africa is constrained by low soil phosphorus (P) content. A
study was conducted in western Kenya to explore alternative P inputs and ways of …

Sažetak Leaching and associated low soil fertility are among the most important agricultural
problems of coarse-textured soils of the humid tropics. This study assessed the effects of …
