Abstract:Capabilities of two phosphate-rich organic wastes to quench phosphorus (P) fixation in a stored highphosphorus-fixing tropical bauxite overburden were examined in a field experiment. Prior grinding and ensiling of shrimp shell waste facilitated increased solubility and hence phosphorus fixation quenching in the soil. Normal plantavailable P concentrations were exhibited by the overburden for up to 4 months after application despite the cultivation and harvesting of plants in the treated beds. Ten-year-old, sto… Show more
