Background:Onion grass(Romulea rosea)is a common weed that infests native and improved pastures in the Mediterranean environments of southern Australia.It is a very challenging weed to control due to its distinctive g...
Potassium(K)is the most abundant cation in the vast majority of plants.It is required in large quantities which,in an agronomic context,typically necessitates application of K in the form of potash or other K fertilis...
Application of phosphorus (P) fertilisers to sugarcane fields in Mauritius increased almost four-fold per unit area over the past 60 years. Some of the applied P accumulated in the soils and can therefore be transport...

A very small amount of applied zinc(Zn) is taken up by crops, resulting in low recovery by plants. Adding elemental sulphur to zinc oxide(ZnO) fertiliser could improve Zn solubilisation and exert a higher residual eff...
Modern agricultural practices involve the extensive use of chemical fertilisers to increase productivity. However less than half of the applied chemical fertiliser nitrogen is used by the target crops, and much of the...
We appreciate the research grant from the Tertiary Education Trust Fund(TETFUND)Nigeria,which was used to fund part of this research.
The individual and combined effects of biochar(B)and inorganic fertiliser(F)have all been widely proofed to improve soil fertility and enhance crop growth and yield under irrigation(I)and rain fed conditions.However,t...
