Phosphorus deficiency is the major soil fertility problem limiting forage production in many parts of Africa. The objective of this study was to screen African Trifolium species for dry matter production, nutrient use efficiency and nitrogen fixation potential at different rates of applied Twenty...

A four year field study was conducted in central Texas to evaluate the effects of sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L. Moench) genotype, fertilizer N application rate and stover removal on crop yields and plant nutrient uptake and partitioning. Fertilizer N application rates of 112 kg ha were generally su...

Phosphorus (P) uptake by plant roots depends on P intensity (I) and P quantity (Q) in the soil. The relative importance of Q and I on P uptake is unknown for soils with large P sorption capacities because of difficulties in determining trace levels of P in the soil solution. We applied a new isot...

This paper examines the potential for phosphorus (P) release from intensively grazed pasture to waterways. In particular it describes the P release processes occurring in riparian buffer strips. Soil samples at three depths (0 2.5, 2.5 7.5, and 7.5 15 cm) were collected from riparian buffer strip...

Low phosphorus availability is a primary constraint to crop production in developing countries. Adventitious roots play an important role in phosphorus acquisition, as they are localized near the soil surface where phosphorus is relatively abundant. A population of recombinant inbred lines of Pha...

The relationship between root-hair growth, acid exudation and phosphorus (P) uptake as well as the quantitative trait loci (QTLs) associated with these traits were determined for a recombinant inbred line (RIL) population derived from the cross of two contrasting common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L...

Tithonia diversifolia (Mexican sunflower) is a shrub commonly used as a green manure crop in Central and South America, Asia and Africa as it accumulates high levels of phosphorus and other nutrients, even in depleted soils. In root samples collected from the global distribution of Tithonia, we e...
