In general phosphorus stays quite stabile in soil and can produce complex ion structures with iron and alluminium (more acidic conditions) and also with calcium (neutral to alkalic conditions). Sometimes magnesium can also lock the phosphorus into a complex structure.
Doesn't it ez to keep the phosphorus from leaching just put some strong cations like Ca or Mg to the soil, so they will form new compounds, yes they may become insoluble but still available for the microbes and roots around the rhizosphere
When you apply those ions in excess there's the risk of making other ions less available for the plant, like copper or iron. That's why organic matter or bone meal are better in my opinion, because the phosporous it's slowly released in the soil and you'll never have a shortage. The same if your soil has lots of microorganisms, as they die or kill one another they release phosphorous that can be used by the plant, more microorganisms = more phosphorous

Very much interesting.!!!! The way that the root tapped to the bucket was quite hilarious 😂

Phosphorus is immobile nutrient I guess so it doesn't leech out, on the contrary Nitrogen is mobile in soil so it leeches out easily in soil.
I think it doesn't settle down deep but it moves left or right... laterally..
@@harshrajpal1828 yeah, but only when you provide flood Irrigation, otherwise it stays at same place.
What fertiliser would you recommend for maize/corn
Phosphorus, Nitrogen, Potassium and Zinc
Very educating
I watch your video in Punjab India 🚜
Am from Maharashtra
Sab jagah hai ham bhai log 😂
thank you very much
I use organic fish-emulsion 0-10-10 npk.
Fish emulsion with no Nitrogen?
What brand is this? I have never seen a fish emulsion without nitrogen and with that high of p and k
Thanks
This is why I use salt based nutes , organic break down takes too long
with raw materials yes, takes a long time, but with composted materials, a good portion is avaliable to the plant.
good

And then you get lock out 😢
