1、Combined application of nitrogen and phosphorus fertilizers increases
In this study, bootstrap and random forest algorithms were employed to examine the effects of various inorganic fertilization regimes on SOC and crop yield, using a comprehensive dataset derived from 332 peer-reviewed publications.
2、Phosphorus applications adjusted to optimal crop yields can help
With the longevity of phosphorus reserves uncertain, distributing phosphorus to meet food production needs is a global challenge.
3、Effects of combined nitrogen and phosphorus application on soil
Research has revealed that the application of N fertilizer during the fertilization process alters the pH of the soil and affects the migration rate of P, thereby enhancing the plant’s ability to absorb P (Elgharably and Benes, 2021).
Balanced Application of Nitrogen, Phosphorus and
【Objective】Rice-rapeseed rotation is an important paddy-upland crop rotation in China, and the application of nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) and potassium (K) fertilizer plays an important role in guaranteeing high and stable crop yields.
Optimizing Nitrogen and Phosphorus Fertilizer Application for
Enhancing crop productivity on alkali soils is essential for food security; however, excessive fertilizer use can lead to soil salinization. Wheat, as a key staple crop, requires an appropriate nitrogen-to-phosphorus fertilization ratio to optimize its yield, yet the ideal ratio remains unclear.
Recent advances in the chemistry of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium
Nanofertilizers are a promising technology for sustainable agricultural production and are discussed in detail in this review. Fertilizer discovery is an important breakthrough that has rapidly increased crop yield globally (Vojvodic et al., 2014).
Optimized Application of Nitrogen, Phosphorus, and Potassium Enhances
Abstract The unreasonable application of nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) and potassium (K) fertilizers not only leads to resource waste and environmental problems, but also affects the normal growth, development, and yield formation of wheat.
Recent advances in nitrogen and nano
Although not much is known about the usage of NFs, significant results have been observed in various plant species. Granular fertilizers are commonly applied to the soil for the nitrogen requirement of plants.
Nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium budget in crop production in South
We estimated the nutrient budget of nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and potassium (K) in cropland for South Asia during the last five decades (from 1970 to 2018) using equation-based empirical...
Effects of combined nitrogen and phosphorus application on soil
Nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) fertilizers change the morphological structure and effectiveness of P in the soil, which in turn affects crop growth, yield, and quality.
Nitrogen-phosphorus fertilizer, also known as nitrogen-phosphorus compound fertilizer or ammonium phosphate, is a critical chemical fertilizer composed of three essential nutrients: nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and potassium (K). In agricultural production, it is widely used across various crops to enhance yield and quality.
1. Vital for Staple Crop Production Staple crops, serving as primary human food sources, heavily rely on nitrogen-phosphorus fertilizers. These fertilizers provide ample nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, accelerating crop growth and increasing yields. Additionally, they strengthen plants’ stress resistance, improving drought tolerance, cold resistance, and pest/disease resilience. This ensures greater stability and reliability in staple crop production.
2. Crucial for Economic Crops Economic crops such as cotton, tobacco, rapeseed, sugarcane, and tea depend largely on soil nutrient availability for yield and quality. Nitrogen-phosphorus fertilizers supply essential nutrients, promoting robust growth and higher productivity. They also enhance pest/disease resistance, reducing production costs while boosting economic returns.
3. Widely Used in Horticultural Crops Vegetables, fruit trees, flowers, and other horticultural crops require significant nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium for healthy development. Nitrogen-phosphorus fertilizers nourish these plants, improving vigor, yield, and quality. they optimize soil structure, increase organic matter content, and enhance water/nutrient retention, supporting long-term sustainable horticulture.
4. Rational Application Guidelines To maximize effectiveness, application rates vary by crop:
- Staple crops: 10–15 kg per mu (1 mu ≈ 666.7 m²).
- Economic crops: 5–10 kg per mu.
- Horticultural crops: 20–30 kg per mu. Adjustments should be made based on soil fertility, weather, and growth stages to ensure optimal use.
Nitrogen-phosphorus fertilizers play a pivotal role in producing staples, economic crops, vegetables, fruits, and flowers. Scientific application improves crop growth, yield, quality, and stress resistance while lowering costs. Farmers should understand its properties and apply it judiciously to advance sustainable agriculture.
