Associations between minerals and organic matter represent one of the most important
carbon storage mechanisms in soils. Plant roots are major sources of soil carbon, and …

Magnesium (Mg) plays a crucial role in crop growth, but how Mg supply level affects root
growth and nutrient absorption in vegetable crops with different genotypes has not been …

In the West African sub-region, intercropping is a critical element in cowpea product profiles.
This study aimed to investigate the impact of intercropping cowpea with pearl millet on …

Phosphorus (P) availability generally limits crop productivity in agroecosystems and is
closely linked to soil organic P mineralization by phosphatases secreted by plant roots and …

Phosphorus (P) is a finite and pivotal resource in determining plant yield. Intercropping with
legumes is frequently proposed to improve P nutrition in many crops such as wheat, and the …

Purpose There is a need to develop agricultural practices that mobilize sparingly soluble soil
phosphorus (P) due to increasing scarcity of P fertilizer. Interactions of different plant species …

Maize/soybean intercropping systems are commonly used in developing countries, but few
studies have been performed to elucidate the differences in nutrient efficiency and …

The intercropping of legumes with wheat is an interesting method to optimize the use of
resources such as phosphorus (P) and nitrogen (N). This occurs when the roots of wheat …

The root traits and response strategies of plants play crucial roles in mediating interactions
between plant root systems. Current research on the role of root exudates as underground …

Background and aims: This research aimed to evaluate the effects of consecutive
intercropping on soil phosphorus (P) partitioning, concentrations, and sensitivity to P …
