Root/Rhizosphere Management for Improving Phosphorus Use Efficiency and Crop Productivity

Liyang Wang and Jianbo Shen

Rhizosphere processes affect soil P availability and efficient use of P by plants. This paper summarizes the principles of root/rhizosphere management, and highlights case studies on how to exploit root-soil-microbe interaction processes to improve crop productivity and P use efficiency.
