The Future of Phosphorus Use in Agriculture
Securing the nutritional needs for our increasing population will continue to drive a healthy demand for P. Innovation will continue to broaden our viable choices for P, which combined with social drivers, will continue to generate momentum towards a more closed P cycle. Further advances in plant breeding, agronomy, and fertilizer technology are required for today’s agricultural systems on soils with high P sorption capacity.
