Phosphorus in soil and plant
Phosphorus is one of the immobile nutrients in the soil. It occurs in the soil in both organic and inorganic forms, the latter being of greater importance in mineral soils. Inorganic P is known to occur in three main categories, viz., apatite which is a discrete phase of P compounds, P sorbed on surface of Fe, Al and Ca as soil constituents and P present within materials of Fe and Al compounds. Sodic soils are rich in total and Olsen-P. The content in reclaimed sodic soils, on the other hand, decreased due to inactivation by added gypsum (soluble sodium-phosphates are converted to less soluble Ca-phosphates) and higher sorption of added P by soil. Most of the soils have the ability to retain soluble P against recovery by plants with the result that crop uptake of phosphorus rarely exceeds 20-25% in the first growing season. This is due to various types of reactions occurring in the soil such as adsorption, precipitation, chemical and biological transformations occurring in the soil that revert the added soluble P into various insoluble forms. The reversion rate, release and availability of P are influenced not only by contact period between P and the soil but also by factors such as temperature and moisture.

I would like to thank you for sharing with such good and high quality information. I believe that you did your homework very well,you prepare it and you presented it in a very meaningful and well presentable manner.If I just imagine you, you seems to be good and brillient guy. I reminds me Authors of Economic Science. I hope that you are the one of the most knowlegeable persons in world. People like you,I tend to pay much respect due to their impact in development change. I hope that those words may give you energy to give us more than we expect.I like the explaination about organic and non-organic as well as the fact base on mineral soil.

Thanks Pradip. Can you write a bit about how you would design urban food growing solutions with this in mind?

Fourth of July on the Lake
This past weekend was the annual celebration at the lake house in Connecticut. It is amazing that the lake is still so clear and beautiful after all these years. The watershed association has done a wonderful job protecting these waters from the damaging effects of development.The wood grill was finally ready to cook on, so we didn't miss the propane tank fueled grill anymore. The food actually tasted fresher than in the past and was easy to keep fueled.Dad was very proud of the solar hybrid…See More
Stinging Nettle
In this blog post I will focus on a plant that is abundant in our nature, and which is immensely nutritious. It's of course the Stinging Nettle. Let's start with the chemical constituents of this plant:37 % Non-Nitrogen-Extracts19 - 29 % Ash9 - 21 % Fiber4 % Fat22 % ProteinOnce the leaves are drid, their protein content can reach an astounding 40 %, which is much higher than beef, which even under the best of circ**stances can never exceed 31 % protein. In addition the Stinging Nettle consists…See More
The meal
It is 7'oclock, I was late home from work due to an assignment that i wanted to get ahead on. By the time I get home I am feeling extremley tired and I cannot be bothered to make a proper meal.

Food was bought up xawayx at once. There were no more food supplies in any shops. The economy was all crushed down. All the…See More
