Development of LDH-based fertiliser for controlled and slow release of phosphate in phosphate fixing soils. KU Leuven
Phosphorus (P) is one of the most important limiting nutrients in crop production systems. The common P fertilizers are soluble P forms produced from acidulated rock phosphate. This practice is faced with several issues. First is the depletion and limited amount of rock phosphate as a natural resource. Second is the limited agronomic effectiveness of the soluble P fertilizers because significant fractions of added P are lost by fixation and ...
