However, its downstream application has not been well-addressed thus restricting P cycling. This study investigated the P fertilizer efficiency of vivianite in pot experiments using ryegrass (<i>Lolium multiflorum</i> L.) and tomato (<i>Solanum lycopersicum</i> L.) with two soilless growing media (perlite and quartz). The variation of vivianite during fertilization was examined to elucidate the mechanisms of P release from vivianite, using a recently developed sequential P extraction protocol coupled with light microscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) coupled with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS).</p><h3>Results</h3><p>The mineral fertilizer equivalence (MFE) of vivianite was determined by comparing the P uptake by plants under vivianite treatment to that under mineral P fertilizer treatment, i.e., Ca(H<sub>2</sub>PO<sub>4</sub>)<sub>2</sub> in this study. It shows that the vivianite-P uptake of ryegrass was positively correlated with time in a 3-month period and its uptake in quartz was faster than that in perlite, leading to a higher MFE of vivianite in quartz than in perlite (15.8–20.3% vs 6.6–7.4%). This should be attributed to the higher P adsorption capacity and lower hydraulic conductivity of perlite, which restricted the vivianite-P dissolution and mobility. The vivianite variation revealed that vivianite-P was mainly released upon vivianite oxidation to ferric (hydr)oxides in perlite, probably given the high aeration condition in this type of growing medium. In quartz, however, the release of vivianite-P was most likely due to vivianite dissolution driven by the plant uptake of P, during which a higher plant uptake of Fe was observed than that in perlite.</p><h3>Conclusions</h3><p>The findings reveal that vivianite can serve as a slow-release P fertilizer, and its fertilizer efficiency is highly related to the properties of the growing media. Quartz is a preferred growing medium over perlite for the efficient fertilization of this sparingly soluble P source. The findings deepen the understanding of P fertilization of vivianite and lay foundation to its utilization as a slow-release P fertilizer for a circular economy of P.</p><h3>Graphical Abstract</h3>\u0000<div><figure><div><div><picture><source><img></source></picture></div></div></figure></div></div>","PeriodicalId":512,"journal":{"name":"Chemical and Biological Technologies in Agriculture","volume":"12 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.2,"publicationDate":"2025-08-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://chembioagro.springeropen.com/counter/pdf/10.1186/s40538-025-00837-4","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144858583","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A total of 20 river water and 3 sediment sampling stations were monitored across four seasons. MP concentrations ranged from 7 to 146 particles/L in water and from 9,867 to 136,177 particles/kg in sediments, with the highest abundances observed near WWTP outfalls and urban infrastructure. Polypropylene was the dominant polymer in water (59.1%) and WWTP effluents (44.4%), while polyethylene was most prevalent in sediments (60.2%). MPs were primarily within the 0.1–0.5 mm size range and were predominantly transparent in colour. Statistical analyses indicated significant positive correlations between MP abundance and key water quality parameters, including chemical oxygen demand, total suspended solids, and selected heavy metals (e.g., Zn, Cd, Ni). The polymeric composition of MPs reflected both urban and industrial sources, with variations in polymer profiles linked to spatial and seasonal factors.
