Phosphorous is essential for the best possible crop yields
and is a challenging nutrient to understand and manage.
Phosphorous enables photosynthesis and respiration, storage
and transfer of energy, and is involved in root, flower and fruit development
through cell division.
Soils generally contain large amounts of total phosphorous,
with most in insoluble forms that are unavailable to plants. Phosphorous availability
is limiting to crop growth in many agricultural soils.
Phosphorous does not exist in soils in its simple elemental
form. Phosphorous exists as inorganic or
organic, with organic being chemically bonded to a carbon compound.
