The use of sequestering agents for the transformation of radionuclides in low concentrations in contaminated soils/sediments offers considerable potential for environmental cleanup. This study evaluated the influence of three types of phosphate (rock phosphate, biological phosphate, and calcium phytate) and two microbial amendments (Alcaligenes piechaudii and Pseudomonas putida) on U mobility. ...

Phosphorus is an essential element for life but is a rare element in the universe. On Earth, it occurs mostly in the form of phosphates that are widespread but predominantly at very low concentration. This relative rarity has resulted in a survival advantage, in evolutionary terms, to organisms that conserve phosphate. When phosphate is made available in excess it becomes a cause for disease, p...

The co-inoculation of mulberry with phosphate solubilizing micro-organisms, nitrogen fixing bacteria and arbuscular mycorrhiza has influenced its macronutrient uptake through leaf. The data revealed that maximum nitrogen (484.12 kg /ha) , phosphorus (59.83 kg /ha) and potassium (244.61 kg/ha) uptake through leaf has taken place due to co-inoculation treatments as compared to the un inoculated t...

Aim: To study the effect of Rock Phosphate, Phosphorus Solubilizing Bacteria, and Lime on phosphorus content in soil, Uptake, Economic yield green gram (var. DGGS-4).
 Study Design: This experiment was conducted through a completely randomized design with 10 treatments 3 replications.
 Place Duration Study: The research at Department Soil Science Agricultural Chemistry, Central Univer...

A general assumption about the geochemical behavior of phosphorus (P) is that it exists exclusively in +5 oxidation as phosphate. However, extremely reducing environments, other states such +3 may also be stable. Such environments—if prevalent globally—may determine planetary habitability, which part governed by nutrient availability, including availability element phosphorus. Here we show a ro...
