“…Buffering capacity (MBC) indicates the adsorption capacity of P on a particular soil, for instance, soil having higher MBC value showed maximum P adsorption (Naeem et al 2013) and have Data are shown as the means ± standard deviation of three replicates (n = 3). Values with different letters indicate significant differences between treatments within column at p < 0.05 greater replenish ability to soil solution (Palanivell et al 2020). Similarly, our maximum buffering capacity values (22.17 mg P kg −1 ) were in line with values reported by Hussain et al (2007) and Hussain et al (2003).…”

“…Similarly, our maximum buffering capacity values (22.17 mg P kg −1 ) were in line with values reported by Hussain et al (2007) and Hussain et al (2003). Maximum bonding energy K L of soil revealed its ability to bind more cations or anions on its surface (Palanivell et al 2020); our study showed K L = 0.009 L mg −1 which is corroborated with previous studies, for instance, K L ranged from 0.00015 to 0.029 (Zhou and Li 2001), from 0.02 to 0.12 (Hussain et al 2003), and even higher from 0.265 to 1.267 (Mihoub et al 2016) under different soil and climatic conditions. Our results regarding modified Langmuir model was also in line with those of Lin et al (1983).…”

Crop response to phosphorous (P) application is often erratic in most soil types in the world. In alkaline calcareous soils, P retention and mobilization take place due to precipitation and adsorption. P adsorption isotherms are the powerful tools for assessing optimum P levels for different crops and soils. Laboratory and field studies were carried out to evaluate P sorption capacity in a highly calcareous soil and corresponding fertilizer levels for yielding 0.1 to 1.0 mg P L −1 of soil solution. Although Freundlich adsorption isotherm model showed a better fit than Langmuir model, P fertilizer levels used in the field, ranging from 20 to 150 kg P 2 O 5 ha −1 , were based on Langmuir model to yield the estimated P solution. Moreover, nitrogen (N) and potassium (K) were applied at the rates of 120 and 60 kg ha −1 as urea and potassium sulfate (K 2 SO 4), respectively, in a basal treatment at the time of sowing. Grains per spike, 1000-grain weight, grain yield, spike length, and biological yield were increased as the level of P increased, but the non-significant differences among 90, 100, and 120 kg P 2 O 5 ha −1 for most of the above parameters suggested that the former rate could be the maximum level for wheat fertilization in the calcareous soil. Similarly, plant N, P, and K were increased with application of P, but non-significant differences were observed from doses 90 to 120 kg P 2 O 5 ha −1. Moreover, the rate of 90 kg P 2 O 5 ha −1 could yield 0.6 mg P L −1 of soil solution as per Langmuir adsorption isotherm model, while as per Freundlich model, this value could reach only 0.3-0.4 mg P L −1 , which is close to the published literature. It is concluded that Freundlich adsorption isotherm is more suitable to be used for the calculation of phosphatic fertilizer rate and its adsorption capacity in the given soil than Langmuir adsorption isotherm.

“…Steam activation of biochar almost doubled the positive effects of biochars for nutrient retention, and this highlights the need for further investigation for effective application of biochar in hydroponic systems (Borchard et al, 2012). Palanivell et al (2020). A recent study conducted by Palanivell et al (2020) showed that biochar has a greater absorption capacity of nitrogen compared to phosphorous and potassium especially for acidic media.…”

A recent study conducted by Palanivell et al (2020) showed that biochar has a greater absorption capacity of nitrogen compared to phosphorous and potassium especially for acidic media. Given the acidic nature of peatmoss, this explains the observed difference in nitrate behaviour as opposed to phosphate and potassium (will be addressed in the following section).…”

Applying biochar (BC) to broad acre crops is an effective way to sequester carbon while improving soil fertility and reducing nutrient leaching. Adopting a similar approach in a hydroponic environment, BC may enhance nutrient availability and reduce natural fluctuations in the nutrient solution. This study monitored the effect of BC addition to peatmoss growth media with ratios of 0%, 5%, 25% and 50% on pH, electrical conductivity (EC) and macronutrient retention, over 15 days using hydroponic nutrient solution controls. Deionised water was used to measure nutrient releases in the closed loop hydroponic system, showing that biochar increased pH level in both retention and release stages. As expected, the pH increased by a maximum of 1.5 units with the highest biochar to growth media ratio due to the natural liming nature of the BC. The EC was also affected, as BC increased in the media EC reduced. With regards to retention of nutrients, BC recovered nitrate, phosphate, calcium and sulphate but did not affect magnesium. Potassium levels increased in solution with increasing BC ratio. In terms of outcomes relevant to global agriculture, the results show that the same level of production can nominally be obtained with around half the nutrient requirements.

The physical and chemical properties of clinoptilolite zeolite can be used to enhance soil nutrient availability for optimum crop use. Amending nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium fertilizers with clinoptilolite zeolite could create a pool of negative charges to retain and release nutrients timely for crop use. Thus, we used clinoptilolite zeolite to enhance Typic Paleudults sorption (adsorption and desorption) of nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, and this soil’s pH buffering capacity. The treatments evaluated were: (i) 250 g soil alone, (ii) 20 g clinoptilolite zeolite alone, (iii) 250 g soil + 20 g clinoptilolite zeolite, (iv) 250 g soil + 40 g clinoptilolite zeolite, and (v) 250 g soil + 60 g clinoptilolite zeolite. Clinoptilolite zeolite increased soil nitrogen and potassium adsorption, nitrogen desorption, and soil pH. Moreover, ability of the soil to resist drastic change in pH (pH buffering capacity) was improved. Additionally, phosphorus adsorption and desorption of phosphorus and potassium were reduced. Higher potassium adsorption with lower potassium desorption suggests that the clinoptilolite zeolite sorbs potassium effectively. The clinoptilolite zeolite nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium contributed to the reduction in the adsorption these nutrients. The clinoptilolite zeolite improved nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium availability and soil buffering capacity to prevent these nutrients from being fixed or lost through for example, leaching. Therefore, clinoptilolite zeolite application could contribute to improved use of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium fertilizers to prevent soil, air, and water pollution. Additionally, our intervention could improve nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium use efficiency.
