Abstract
Phosphatic fertilizers are indispensable for sustainable agriculture, but phosphorus (P) scarcity has drawn global attention with respect to research and policy discussions. Soil conditions (pH, organic matter, metal oxides), P-fertilizer form and its application methods, and plant growth mechanisms influence plant P availability. Given the nonrenewable nature and low use efficiency of P, the development of speciality P-fertilizers and improved application methods are essential for reducing environmental P losses and increasing plant P uptake, thereby improving P use efficiency (PUE). This paper explores strategies for using innovative P-fertilizers targeting plant physiological processes instead of conventional bulk field applications to enhance PUE.
期刊介绍:
Current Opinion in Biotechnology (COBIOT) is renowned for publishing authoritative, comprehensive, and systematic reviews. By offering clear and readable syntheses of current advances in biotechnology, COBIOT assists specialists in staying updated on the latest developments in the field. Expert authors annotate the most noteworthy papers from the vast array of information available today, providing readers with valuable insights and saving them time.
As part of the Current Opinion and Research (CO+RE) suite of journals, COBIOT is accompanied by the open-access primary research journal, Current Research in Biotechnology (CRBIOT). Leveraging the editorial excellence, high impact, and global reach of the Current Opinion legacy, CO+RE journals ensure they are widely read resources integral to scientists' workflows.
COBIOT is organized into themed sections, each reviewed once a year. These themes cover various areas of biotechnology, including analytical biotechnology, plant biotechnology, food biotechnology, energy biotechnology, environmental biotechnology, systems biology, nanobiotechnology, tissue, cell, and pathway engineering, chemical biotechnology, and pharmaceutical biotechnology.
