Article Synopsis
- Phosphorus (P) is essential for plant nutrition and human food production, yet over 40% of cultivated soils lack sufficient P levels, posing challenges for sustainable agriculture as the global population is expected to reach 9 billion by 2050.
- Current agricultural practices and new techniques, such as intercropping and green manure crops, can enhance P availability in soil and promote greater crop yields compared to monocropping systems.
- Innovations like mycorrhizal fungi inoculation and improved management practices, including crop rotation and efficient fertilizers, are crucial in maximizing P utilization and addressing food production needs in a changing environment.
