Abstract:Brazil is a large phosphate importer due to the high demand for this nutrient for grain cropping on very weathered soils. However, Brazil has an important poultry production that generates ~6.8 million m3 year−1 of organic residue containing phosphorus and other nutrients, increasing the risk of environmental harm. However, if well managed, poultry litter can be a valuable source of P for crop growth in low fertile tropic soils. This article summarizes the long-term agronomic efficiency of organomineral fertil… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
