The changes in labile phosphorus compounds content during germination of wheat were investigated. These compounds were determined in acid-soluble germ extracts separated into fractions according to the solubility of their barium salts. Low germination temperature was found to raise the labile phosphorus content in the fraction of insoluble barium salts. If we assume that labile P of this fraction consisted mainly of adenosinedi- and triphosphates, it would seem that the rise, in the ATP and ADP level under the influence of low temperature may be essential for initiating flowering in winter varieties.

In lakes and wetlands, leaf litter input from the coastal vegetation represents a major nutrient load and plays a basic structural and functional role in several ecosystems. In Hungary, at the banks of lakes and wetlands, Salix and Populus trees are the most common species. In an experiment in Lake Balaton and Kis-Balaton Wetland between 16 November 2017 to and 3 June 2018, the decomposition rates and leaching dynamics of Salix, Populus and mixed leaves (50% Salix and 50% Populus) were investigated. Total nitrogen and phosphorus content of biomass samples were measured at the beginning and end of the experiment for the leaching dynamics experiment. We found that litter mass losses (Salix, Populus and mixed leaves) were not significantly different between the two mesh size litterbags and between Lake Balaton and Kis-Balaton Wetland. Different amounts of the total nitrogen and phosphorus leaching from Salix, Populus and mixed leaves were detected. The total nitrogen contents of the plant samples were around 8-18% at the end of the investigated period. Slightly higher values were measured compared to phosphorous (27-29%).

<p>Food processing creates many by-products, and not all of them are used efficiently. Especially animal-based side products are frequently considered as waste with costly disposal requirements. For recycling of the nutrients contained in these residues, also under consideration of the hygienic specifications, pyrolysis can be used to create animal bone-based biochars. A lab-scale pyrolysis reactor (Pyreka 3.0) was used to produce biochars from different bone fractions of cattle and pigs after these bones had originated as waste from abbatoir operations. This study had the objective to investigate the potential of the bone chars to serve as a phosphorus (P) supply for agricultural purposes and to study the ammonium sorption potential of these chars.</p><p>The total phosphorus content of bones reached up to 140 mg/g. The water-soluble phosphorus content was in the range of 0.16 – 0.93 mg/g, an increase in pyrolysis temperature from 350 °C to 500 °C or 650 °C increased the water-soluble content by 13.3 or 12.2 % respectively. The citric acid soluble phosphorus content was between 1.75 – 2.19 mg/g. After pyrolysis temperatures of 350 °C, slightly more phosphorus dissolved in the coal products than at 500 °C (+2.7 %) and at 650 °C (+5.5 %).</p><p>The ammonium sorption capacity of biochars produced by varying pyrolytic processes was investigated by a series of sorption experiments. The removal of ammonium by the biochars from an aqueous ammonium solution was measured by using colorimetric determination of the ammonium content. The maximum ammonium sorption results were achieved by biochars produced from bovine heads and feet respectively at a temperature of 900°C and activated with H<sub>2</sub>O.</p><p>When exposed to a solution containing 50 mg/L of ammonium, these biochars adsorbed 1.23 and 1.14 mg ammonium/g biochar, respectively. The possibility to enrich abattoir waste biochars, which are depleted in nitrogen because of the pyrolysis process, with ammonium gained from a nitrogen-enriched biogas slurry produced from animal residues of the meat production process was tested using a substitute slurry made with ammonium sulfate. The highest absorbance rate using the substitute slurry containing 10 g/L ammonium was achieved by biochar made from bovine heads and resulted in 43.1 mg ammonium/g biochar.</p><p>This study shows that bone-based biochars enriched with nitrogen from e.g. biogas digestates have significant potential as an NP-fertilizer that supports the strategies of circular economy.</p>

The NaHCO3-soluble phosphorus content of a Melfort silty clay soil that had received an annual application of 20 lb N with 40 lb P2O5 per acre for 7 years while in pasture, was increased by 250 per cent as compared with the soluble phosphorus content of soil from unfertilized pastures at the 0- to 3-in. depth. Following 1 year of sod fallow, barley grown on fields that had received P2O5 during the pasture period matured 10 days earlier and yielded 18.4 bu per acre more than unfertilized check pastures.

Phosphate-solubilizing microorganisms have been considered as a novel alternative approach to provide phosphate fertilizers that promote plant growth. In this study, three strains were isolated and identified as Penicillium oxalicum FJG21, Penicillium oxalicum FJQ5, and Bacillus subtilis BPM12, with a relatively high phosphate-solubilizing activity. Various phosphate sources were investigated, and Ca3(PO4)2 was identified as the effective phosphate source. Factors governing the phosphate-solubilizing activity of the strains included carbon and nitrogen sources, initial pH, and fermentation time. A high soluble phosphorus content was achieved with 529.0 μg·mL-1, 514.0 μg·mL-1, and 330.7 μg·mL-1 for Penicillium oxalicum FJG21, Penicillium oxalicum FJQ5, and Bacillus subtilis BPM12, respectively. An inverse correlation of the quantity of soluble phosphorus content and the pH value of the medium was observed. In addition, Bacillus subtilis BPM12 displayed a prominent capability of producing indole acetic acid. Penicillium oxalicum FJG21 and Penicillium oxalicum FJQ5 exhibited high cellulase activities. These phosphate-solubilizing microorganisms with good phosphate-solubilizing capability and growth-promoting ability are the promising strains for agricultural utilization.

Wheat was grown in outdoor tanks 15 in. in diameter and 5 ft deep for a period of 36 years. The results show the extent that two crop rotations and two levels of available water influenced the yield and nutrient depletion of a loam soil. The average yield of wheat receiving added water was nearly twice that of crops receiving rainfall only, and the yields of crops receiving added water were eventually limited by the lack of available plant nutrients.There was no marked difference in the organic carbon and nitrogen content or the pH of the different treatments. There was a high accumulation of nitrate nitrogen in the lower depths of the soil in a fallow-wheat rotation receiving rainfall only. Significant differences were found in bicarbonate soluble phosphorus at nearly all depths between the different treatments. Summerfallowing apparently maintained the soluble phosphorus at a higher level. The soluble phosphorus content of the soil from the added water treatment at the end of the 36-year period was lower than that considered sufficient for maximum yields.

1. The principal inorganic constituents of the unfertilized egg of Paracentrotus lividus have been analysed by chemical methods. The results of the analyses, in millimoles per kg. of water in the eggs (dry weight of eggs, 24%; density, 1.09), were: The figures in brackets are the concentrations of the same substances in Roscoff sea water, chlorinity 19.37‰ in the same units. 2. The total phosphorus content of the eggs was about 2 mg./ml. eggs, somewhat over half of this being acid-soluble phosphorus.
