  2. Phosphorus deficiency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phosphorus_deficiency

    If the concentration of phosphorus measured from the colorimeter test is significantly lower than the plant's optimal soil levels, then it is likely the plant is phosphorus deficient. [5] The soil testing with colorimetric analysis, while widely used, can be subject to diagnostic problems as a result of interference from other present compounds ...

  3. Plant nutrients in soil - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plant_nutrients_in_soil

    Nutrients in the soil are taken up by the plant through its roots, and in particular its root hairs.To be taken up by a plant, a nutrient element must be located near the root surface; however, the supply of nutrients in contact with the root is rapidly depleted within a distance of ca. 2 mm. [14] There are three basic mechanisms whereby nutrient ions dissolved in the soil solution are brought ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plant_nutrition

    Plants can increase phosphorus uptake by a mutualism with mycorrhiza. [6] On some soils, the phosphorus nutrition of some conifers, including the spruces, depends on the ability of mycorrhizae to take up, and make soil phosphorus available to the tree, hitherto unobtainable to the non-mycorrhizal root. Seedling white spruce, greenhouse-grown in ...

    Consequently, the widespread use of phosphate fertilizers has increased soil fluoride concentrations. [94] It has been found that food contamination from fertilizer is of little concern as plants accumulate little fluoride from the soil; of greater concern is the possibility of fluoride toxicity to livestock that ingest contaminated soils.

  6. Soil fertility - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soil_fertility

    Phosphorus is a primary factor of soil fertility as it is an element of plant nutrients in the soil. It is essential for cell division and plant development, especially in seedlings and young plants. [10] However, phosphorus is becoming increasingly harder to find and its reserves are starting to be depleted due to the excessive use as a ...

  7. Phosphorus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phosphorus

    Low phosphate levels are an important limit to growth in a number of plant ecosystems. The vast majority of phosphorus compounds mined are consumed as fertilisers. Phosphate is needed to replace the phosphorus that plants remove from the soil, and its annual demand is rising nearly twice as fast as the growth of the human population.
