Summary

Phosphorus is an important natural resource which is
finite
It has great relevance to crop productivity in different parts of
the globe
Phosphate deficiency in soil is indeed widespread and has been
observed in several agricultural soil
Phosphorus application has almost invariably produced
comparatively richer harvests of grain and biomass, in
different soil types of each continent
Obviously, the inherent soil process that cause p fixation, as
well as relevant mechanisms to overcome such an enormous
soil fertility problem is felt strongly by agriculturists
Agricultural production needs to increase
which is related to increased use of inorganic
inputs such as phosphorus

Importance of
Phosphorus to Plants
important in cell division and
development of new tissue
Phosphorus is also associated
with complex energy
transformations in plants
Adding phosphorus to soil
low in available phosphorus
promotes root growth and
winter hardiness, stimulates
tillering, and often hastens
maturity
Phosphorus is a component of
complex nucleic acid structure
of plants, which regulates
protein synthesis

In soils P may exist in many different forms. In practical terms, however, P in
soils can be thought of existing in 3 "pools":
Forms of Phosphorus in Soils
Residual P: When the amount of fertilizer P added to soil exceeds removal by
cropping the fertilizer P residues gradually increase, with corresponding rise
in P concentration in the soil solution
Also
• Very small and will usually contain only a
fraction of P per acre.
Solution P pool
• P on the solid phase which is relatively
easily released to the soil solutionActive P pool
• Made of inorganic phosphate compounds that are
very insoluble and organic compounds that are
resistant to mineralization by microorganisms in the
soil

2) Soil p adsorption and release

P build up - consequences
 Phosphorus buildup is caused by use of inorganic fertilizer
which undergo fixation reaction in soil
 Buildup of phosphorus in croplands can cause poor plant
growth and thus low productivity
 Excessive soil phosphorus reduces the plant’s ability to take
up required micronutrients, particularly iron and zinc, even when
soil tests show there are adequate amounts of those nutrients in
the soil
High soil phosphorus levels threaten streams, rivers, lakes and
oceans due to possible pollution of the water bodies

cumulative phosphorus effects in
contrasted Moroccan calcareous
soils
Amrani et al. 1999
1st paper

To evaluate the residual and cumulative P effects on crop growth and P uptake in
contrasting calcareous soils from the arid and semiarid zones of Morocco
Objective

Materials and methods
Thirteen calcareous soils were collected from three regions of arid and semi-arid
zones of Morocco. The soils were air dried, crushed and sieved through a 2-mm
screen
Available P was extracted by 0.5 M NaHCO3 solution and analyzed by the ascorbic acid
method
Five kg of each soil was placed in polyethylene plastic
pots. Three successive crops were grown as follows
Greenhouse experiment
Third crop: WheatFirst crop: Wheat Second crop: Corn

First crop: Wheat
Supplemental fertilization added to each pot consisted of:
1) 100 mg N kg-1 from NH4NO3, one half at sowing and the other at
tillering
2) 50 mg K kg-1 from K2SO4
3) 3.5 mg Zn kg-1 from ZnSO4.7H2O
4) 8 mg Fe kg-1 from Fe - Chelate (10%)
5) 4.5 mg Cu kg-1 from CuSO4.5H2O
6) 8 mg kg-1 from MgSO4.7H2O
Fertilizer P solutions were prepared using reagent grade monocalcium phosphate
and mixed with soil at rates :
a. 0, 3.4, 6.7 and 13.4 mg P kg-1 soil
b. Four replications
c. Nineteen wheat seeds (cv. Merchouch) were placed at a depth
of 2 to 3 cm in each pot
d. Thinned to 9 plants, 12 days after sowing

i. The effect of residual P on succeeding crops was evident in this study
ii. The response of both corn (second crop) and wheat (third crop) to previously
applied P supported the observation that much of the P applied to a crop as
fertilizer may not be used by that crop
iii.Response of corn to residual P was significant for soils with initial NaHCO3 – P

Fig. . Dynamics of Olsen-P in soil during 25 years in no-P control and with
fertilizer P applications to summer-grown groundnut, winter crop and both crops
each year. P1 P2, and P3 refer to 30, 60 and 90kgP2O5 ha-1 applied in groundnut-
wheat; 20, 40 and 60 kg P2O5 ha-1 in groundnut-mustard; 20, 30 and 40kgP2O5 ha-1
in groundnut-rapeseed sequence, respectively.

Conclusion:
i. P-build up to a high fertility range would increase plant available P,
albeit at a diminishing rate, continuous high application rates of
fertilizer P may also result in P induced micronutrient deficiencies.
ii. Results indicated a marked difference in P fraction changes between
fertilized and non fertilized control plots.
iii. The conversion of fertilizer P to non labile P forms is significantly
enhanced by increasing rates and frequency of applied P.

To evaluate both the initial year’s response to P fertilization of corn in south
eastern Turkey as well as its residual effect over a number of years.
Objective
Material and methods
Field location
1. Multiple years field corn experiments as a second rotation crop were conducted at
the Research Station of Cukurova University in Adana, Turkey.
2. The soil was a loamy, smectitic and calcareous
3. Selected physical and chemical properties of soil that might influence P use and
crop growth were:
• pH 7.6 (1:5 soil:water),
• organic matter content (0.74%),
• High CaCO3 (29%),
• cation exchange capacity (29 Cmol kg-1)
• Marginal levels of plant available P, i.e., 10 mg kg-1 NaHCO3- extractable P
(Olsen).

Corn genotype (Hybrid XL72AA) was planted manually in late June to early July,
based on the weather conditions of that specific year
Treatments:
In the first year (1998), the main plots were fertilized with 0,33, 66 and 99 kg
P ha- (as triple superphosphate) prior to the experiment in order to establish a
range of soil test values for the following years.
During the second and following years, the main plots were divided into
subplots, each receiving 0, 9, 18, 27 and 36 kg P ha-1
The first year experiment was arranged in a randomized complete block
design, and then became a split-plot design having:
a) 0, 33, 66 and 99 kg P ha-1 rates as main plots
b) 0, 9, 18, 27 and 36 kg P ha-1 rates as subplots
c) Four replications in 1999, 2000, 2001 and 2002

CONCLUSION
i. Residual P from fertilizer application does accumulate rapidly for the
benefit of succeeding crop
ii. The phenomenon occurs in calcareous Mediterranean soils which ‘‘fix’’
applied P fertilizer
iii.Based on research in the Mediterranean region, and data from that
study was, the fertilization value of P fertilizer residues can easily
assessed and monitored by soil testing

Organic acids exuded from roots in phosphorus uptake
and aluminum tolerance of plants in acid soils
Hocking 2001
objective
I. To understand how organic acid exudation from roots benefits
the P nutrition of plants.
II. To determine the role of organic acid in mobilizing fixed P
for plant nutrition
5th paper

Fig 1: Outline of the main processes affecting P availability in the rhizosphere and P supply to plant roots.
Root take up inorganic P (Pi) from the soil solution. Which is replenished by Pi from the solid phase and by
hydrolysis of organic P (Po) from the soil solution and solid phase. Root exudates particularly organic acids
increase rates of solubilization, desorption. and mineralization either directly or indirectly via the activity of
microorganisms. Mycorrhizal fungi increase the absorbing area of the root system and the volume of soil
exploited.

I. Based on current consumption of P fertilizer. It is estimated that world
reserves of rock phosphates will be exhausted within the next 60-90 years.
II. Currently many developing countries in the tropics have to contend with
very low soil P reserves and soils fixing high P
III. Consequently there is increasing pressure to manage the use of P fertilizer in
food and livestock production systems in acid soil to minimize actual and
potential adverse environmental effects caused by P

spore and PSB number
d. The present study demonstrated the benefits of arbuscular mycorrhizal
fungi (AMF) and phosphate solubilizing bacteria (PSB) for enhancing
the growth of wheat
CONCLUSION

Summary
I. Temporally fixed P also called residual P becomes available with
time but at slow rate.
II. The availability of residual P in the soil is related to the rate of P
application and quantity of P taken by plant.
III. Residual P is governed by soil characteristics which include soil
physicochemical and biological properties.
IV. AMF no effect on % ∆P-Olsen and PSB number whereas
increased colonization percentage and spore number
V. Based on current consumption of P fertilizer. It is estimated that
world reserves of rock phosphates will be exhausted within the
next 60-90 years.

STRATEGIESFORIMPROVINGP EFFICIENCYIN THESOIL/RHIZOSPHERE-PLANTCONTINUUM
The effective strategies for P management may involve a series of multiple level
approaches in association with soil, rhizosphere, and plant processes.
P input into farmland can be optimized based on the balance of inputs/outputs
of P.
Soil based P management requires a long-term management strategy to
maintain the soil available P supply at an appropriate level through monitoring soil
P fertility because of the relative stability of P within soils.

Some soil and rhizosphere microorganisms such as AMF and plant growth
promoting rhizobacteria also contribute to plant P acquisition (Richardson et al.,
2009).
successful P management can be achieved by breeding crop cultivars or
genotypes more efficient for P acquisition and use.
I. wheat (Triticum aestivum) variety Xiaoyan54 that secreted more carboxylates
(e.g. malate and citrate) into the rhizosphere than P-inefficient genotypes (Li et
al., 1995).
II. soybean (Glycine max) ‘BX10’ with superior root traits that enable better
adaptation to low P soils
In addition, the ability to use insoluble P compounds in soils can be enhanced
by engineering crops to exude more phytase, which results from over expression of
a fungal phytase gene (George et al., 2005b).
The integration of genetically improved P efficient crops with advanced P
management in the soil plant system is important for improving nutrient use efficiency
and sustainable crop production.
