Smart Strategies for Phosphorus Management and Reutilization in Agriculture gives a comprehensive exploration of the state of phosphorus in soil, addressing the urgent challenge of its depletion while unveiling cutting-edge technologies designed to recycle this vital resource for future sustainability.
The book provides deep insights into emerging biological and chemical techniques that promise sustainable management and recycling of phosphorus, ensuring its availability for agricultural use as fertilizers. It examines the global status of phosphorus (P), bridging the gap between soil P dynamics and the pressing issue of its exhaustion. Chapters deliver an in-depth analysis of industrial processes for P production, highlighting the challenges posed by the depletion of P minerals essential for fertilizer manufacturing. Readers learn innovative biological, chemical, and biochemical approaches for reclaiming phosphorus from waste materials, transforming waste into a valuable agricultural resource.
This book is an essential resource for researchers, microbiologists, and chemical engineers, and a guide for those seeking to navigate the challenges of phosphorus sustainability and unlock its potential for agricultural innovation.
