Microbes Help Unlock Phosphorus For Plant Growth

2021-01-20T19:18:21+00:00

Authors; Michelle Ma Phosphorus is a necessary nutrient for plants to grow. But when it’s applied to plants as part of a chemical fertilizer, phosphorus can react strongly with minerals in the soil, forming complexes with iron, aluminum and calcium. This locks up the phosphorus, preventing plants from being able [...]
