Optimizing phosphorus fertilization for wheat

What is it about?

Fertilization practices can contribute to modify the properties of the soils, in particular salinity and the pH of soils. The main goal of this study is to demonstrate the impact of the physicochemical properties change related to applied phosphorus fertilizers on phosphorus availability in light textured soils having low calcareous content.

Why is it important?

Wheat crop growth and yield is significantly influenced by phosphorus. Early stages of wheat crop required phosphorus for proper growth and good yield of wheat crop. Adequate amount of phosphorus enhances the root growth and seedling establishment of wheat crop. Phosphorus as a basic nutrient plays a vital role from seedling to maturity stage of plant. Besides, all phonological, physiological and morphological processes improvement it also helps to enhance quality and as well as number of seeds on a plant. So, sufficient supply of P is necessary, particularly at early crop growth stage. Insufficient supply will be resulted in irreversible way, even P supply is started to apply in a sufficient amount.
