It is generally assumed that phosphorus (P) availability for plant growth on highly weathered and P-deficient tropical soils may depend more on biologically mediated organic P (Po) turnover processes than on the release of adsorbed inorganic P (Pi). However, experimental evidence showing the link...

Phosphorus transformations in an oxisol under contrasting land-use systems: The role of the soil microbial biomass
Chemical sequential extraction is widely used to divide soil phosphorus (P) into different inorganic (Pi) and organic (Po) fractions, but the assignment of these fractions to pools of differing plant availability, especially for low P tropical soils, is still matter of discussion. To improve this...

Opportunities for germplasm selection to influence phosphorus acquisition from low-phosphorus soils
Interactions of lime, phosphorus (P), and zinc (Zn) in two coarse-textured Ultisols from southeastern Nigeria were examined by means of factorial soil incubation and phosphate sorption experiments.
In both soils, liming reduced exchangeable aluminum (Al) saturation from 45% to < 5% at pH 5.0 and ...

Maize stover left after grain harvest constitutes an important source for livestock feed in most parts of East Africa, particularly during the dry season. In spite of its wide use and greater importance, breeding programs have given little attention to the improvement of stover quality and quanti...
