  2. Plant nutrition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plant_nutrition

    Phosphorus is available to plants in limited quantities in most soils because it is released very slowly from insoluble phosphates and is rapidly fixed once again. Under most environmental conditions it is the element that limits growth because of this constriction and due to its high demand by plants and microorganisms.

  3. Plant nutrients in soil - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plant_nutrients_in_soil

    Agricultural fields may need to be fertilised to make up for the phosphorus that has been removed in the crop. [83] When phosphorus does form solubilised ions of H 2 PO 4 −, if not taken up by plant roots these ions rapidly form insoluble calcium phosphates or hydrous oxides of iron and aluminum. Phosphorus is largely immobile in the soil and ...

  4. Ptilotus exaltatus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ptilotus_exaltatus

    Ptilotus exaltatus is known to survive in high-phosphorus soil environments without succumbing to phosphorus toxicity, and as such has been declared a phosphorus hyperaccumulater. [10] It is able to tolerate very high phosphorus levels in soil without suffering a decrease in the leaf and shoot dry weight – a key indicator of plant health. [10]

  5. Fertilizer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fertilizer

    Continuous use of high-cadmium fertilizer can contaminate soil (as shown in New Zealand) [93] and plants. [94] Limits to the cadmium content of phosphate fertilizers has been considered by the European Commission. [95] [96] [97] Producers of phosphorus-containing fertilizers now select phosphate rock based on the cadmium content. [68]

  6. Phosphorus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phosphorus

    Phosphorus is an essential macromineral for plants, which is studied extensively in edaphology to understand plant uptake from soil systems. Phosphorus is a limiting factor in many ecosystems ; that is, the scarcity of phosphorus limits the rate of organism growth.

  7. Phosphorus deficiency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phosphorus_deficiency

    Phosphorus is a key molecular component of genetic reproduction. When phosphorus is present in inadequate levels, genetic processes such as cell division and plant growth are impaired. Hence, phosphorus deficient plants may mature at a slower rate than plants with adequate amounts of phosphorus.

  8. Superphosphate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superphosphate

    A significant number of plants, especially those that evolved in Gondwanaland, have a sensitivity to excess phosphorus, [18] getting all that they need from associations with Arbuscular mycorrhiza. Examples of plants that are intolerant of the application of superphosphate include Hakea prostrata and Grevillea crithmifolia.

  9. Carnivorous plant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carnivorous_plant

    Most carnivorous plants live in habitats with high light, waterlogged soils, and extremely low soil nitrogen and phosphorus, producing the ecological impetus to derive nitrogen from an alternate source. High-light environments allowed for the trade-off between photosynthetic leaves and photosynthetically inefficient, prey-capturing traps.
