Abstract:Potassium fertilizer is essential to ensure crop production and thus global food supply and safe fertilizer.Potassium resources are mainly located in the Northern Hemisphere, and as a result, there is currently a scarcity of cheap potash and severe soil de ciencies in some areas of the Southern Hemisphere. There is a shift from mined salts to locally available potassium resources. such as silicates containing K, may be an option to improve this situation. The goal of increasing crop productivity and improving … Show more
Phosphorus fertilizer (PF) is an important nutrient for crop growth, but it can be easily immobilized in the soil by oxides of aluminum, iron, and calcium, resulting in its reduced bioavailability.
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.
