Mycorrhizal fungi alleviate acidification-induced phosphorus limitation: Evidence from a decade-long field experiment of simulated acid deposition in a tropical forest in south China

Yuanliu Hu et al.

Summary: South China has been experiencing high acid deposition and severe soil acidification, leading to phosphorus (P) limitation in the regional ecosystem. A 10-year field experiment showed that acidification increased occluded P pool in the dry season but had no effect on microbial P, soluble P, and labile organic P pools in the wet season. Acid addition also increased exchangeable Al3+, Fe3+, and the activation of Fe oxides in both seasons. In the wet season, acid addition stimulated ectomycorrhizal fungi and phosphomonoesterase activities, potentially alleviating acidification-induced P limitation.

Biochemical and hormonal changes associated with root growth restriction under cadmium stress during maize (Zea mays L.) pre-emergence

Carolina L. Matayoshi et al.

Summary: Cadmium pollution poses a threat to agricultural soils, particularly affecting maize root growth during the pre-emergence stage and resulting in decreased root length, biomass, and nutrient content. Cadmium exposure also disrupts redox balance and alters hormone levels, ultimately inhibiting plant growth.

Effects of phosphorus-containing material application on soil cadmium bioavailability: a meta-analysis

Yi Tan et al.

Summary: Diverse phosphorus-containing materials (PCMs) have been widely used in the remediation of cadmium-contaminated soils, and their effects on soil cadmium availability (SCA) vary depending on their physicochemical characteristics and environmental conditions. A meta-analysis of literature published before August 2021 was conducted to investigate the impact of PCMs on SCA reduction under different conditions. The results showed that application rate is the most important factor contributing to SCA, followed by soil pH and duration. Medium P input has the potential to reactivate SCA, while PCM input can better deactivate SCA under alkaline soil conditions and high soil CEC values.

What Determines the Uptake of Multiple Tools to Mitigate Agricultural Risks among Hybrid Maize Growers in Pakistan? Findings from Field-Level Data

Shoaib Akhtar et al.

Summary: Arable farming is inherently risky, and managing risks in agriculture is crucial for the economy of developing countries. Most farmers in Pakistan are risk-averse and prefer to adopt risk management strategies such as contract farming, off-farm income diversification, and farm credit to protect against price, biological, climatic, and financial risks. These risk management decisions are intertwined and influenced by various factors such as socioeconomic characteristics, risk perceptions, and attitudes towards risk.

Effect of alkaline and chemically engineered biochar on soil properties and phosphorus bioavailability in maize

Muhammad Farooq Qayyum et al.

Summary: The study shows that acidified biochar amendments have the potential to improve plant P uptake and dry-matter yield, with different biochars showing varying effects under P conditions. Acidified RHB significantly affects root dry-matter, while non-acidified WSB exhibits higher P content in incubation study. Further research is needed to explore specific P management strategies for sustainable crop production.

Hafiz Muhammad Ali Raza et al.

Summary: This study investigated the optimal concentrations of potassium (K) and zinc (Zn) in different hybrid and inbred maize cultivars and found that combined fertilization approach (Zn12K60) significantly improved the plant biometric and physiological attributes of maize crops. Maize hybrids showed better performance compared to inbred cultivars under the combined application of Zn and K (Zn12K60), indicating their suitability for fodder production in Zn deficient soils.

Long-term cover crops improved soil phosphorus availability in a rain-fed apple orchard

Yuanji Wang et al.

Summary: The objective of this study was to understand the distribution patterns of soil phosphorus under long-term cover crops, with findings indicating that cover crops enhanced soil P bioavailability by increasing various P fractions, particularly in the topsoil, and being influenced by key environmental factors such as soil organic matter, NH4+-N, and pH. Long-term cover crops also increased the abundances of P-solubilizing bacteria and alkaline phosphatase activity, demonstrating their effectiveness in activating soil P and improving soil environment.
