New study finds recycled phosphorus could fertilize 100 percent of U.S. corn
The world has a problem. A phosphorus problem. Needed to fertilize crops, the bulk of phosphorus comes from nonrenewable phosphate rock. While China mines the most — producing almost half the world’s phosphorus — Morocco alone controls three-fourths of global phosphate rock reserves. Year by year those global reserves dwindle, leaving phosphate rock that’s ever lower in ...

Cattle manure application strategies effects on bahiagrass yield, nutritive value, and phosphorus recovery
Animal manure application based on crop N requirements often leaves excess P in the soil because of the differences in the N/P ratio in manures and that required by the plants. This experiment was designed to evaluate the effects of cattle (Bos taurus) manure applied alone or in combination with ammonium nitrate (AN) on bahiagrass (Paspalum notatum Flügge) dry matter (DM) yield, nutritive value, ...

Side-band injection of acidified cattle slurry as starter P-fertilization for maize seedlings
Abstract Accumulation of phosphorus (P) in agricultural soils has caused increasing environmental concerns. Maize cropped for fodder implies return of animal manures rich in nutrients. In addition, starter fertilization with mineral P is used in cold conditions for maize cropping. It was hypothesized that the use of the additional mineral P could be excluded by increased availability of the P ...

Importance of Sustainable Sourcing and How Technology Helps to Achieve This
Today, sustainable agriculture entails boosting agricultural crop production while maintaining the ecological resources in which they flourish. Gardeners and farmers have debated the clash between sustainable agriculture and energy crop cultivation technologies that allow bioenergy and biomass crops to be grown on agricultural land. The consequences of rising oil prices and the environmental ...
