Phosphorus adsorption is stronger in tropical soils than in those of temperate zone. This difference can be ascribed mainly to the clay mineralogical composition of the first ones which comprises greater amounts of kaolinite, gibbsite, hematite and goethite. This mineralogical composition is usually found in the clay fraction of Oxisols, a class of deeply weathered soils that cover great …
One of the main drawbacks to agriculture carried out in highly weathered Brazilian soils is the natural scarcity of phytoavailable nutrients such as phosphorus. This implies a high demand for phosphate fertilizers, which have become increasingly valued in the world market of agricultural inputs as they come from finite geological resources. In this context, the use of animal bones as a so…
Phosphorus adsorption is more intense in tropical soils than in temperate regions. This difference can be ascribed mainly to the clay mineralogical composition of the first ones which comprises greater amounts of kaolinite, gibbsite, hematite, and goethite than those found in the soils of the northern hemisphere. This mineralogical composition is usually found in the clay fraction of oxis…
Agriculture on highly weathered Brazilian soils faces significant challenges due to the natural scarcity of available nutrients and the high capacity for phosphorus (P) immobilization. As agriculture expands in Brazil, the demand for P fertilizers has increased, making them highly valued in the market of agricultural inputs. The use of animal bones as source of secondary P constitutes a p…
