Effect of Synthetic Chelating Agent Application to Soils on Phosphorus Availability

Effect of Synthetic Chelating Agent Application to Soils on Phosphorus Availability

Fertilizer phosphorus (P) can become unavailable to crops due to immobilization of P in acidic soils through forming chemical bonds with iron (Fe) and aluminum (Al) amorphous oxides.  Organic chelating agents form strong bonds with metals in soil and may reduce P binding with Fe and Al.  Ethylenedia...
