Initially, the authors discovered that using weakly nucleophilic hexafluoroisopropanol as the nucleophile enabled the selective synthesis of trivalent phosphorus at a high current density of 44.4 ...

Most phosphorus in the environment is in an organic form that plants cannot directly use, and traditional understanding suggested only enzymes could convert it into the bioavailable inorganic form.

This means that phosphorus is left in the water instead of being washed away through rivers and streams. As a result, very high concentrations of phosphorus can build up in these soda lakes. As early ...

Growing plants on the moon could be made easier by adding bacteria to the soil to produce phosphorus, an essential element for plant growth that isn’t readily available in lunar soil. Lunar regolith, ...

Soil science tells us we need nitrogen (N) to promote leaf and stem growth. It’s the first number in the 3-number analysis ...

Growing global demand for sustainable agriculture is driving scientists to find smarter ways to handle livestock waste. A new study by Xiaofei Ge and colleagues at China Agricultural University brings ...
