Phosphorous is one of the most essential macronutrient for plant development and growth. It plays a significant role in crop production. Despite being one of the most prevalent metals found in the Earth’s crust, due to its insoluble nature, only trace amounts are available for plant uptake. In the soil 70% of phosphorous is present in the inorganic form that is inaccessible to plants. These forms of inorganic phosphorous are generally complexed with calcium, aluminum, or iron. The problem of phosphate inaccessibility was traditionally tackled by using phosphate fertilizers, with organic fertilizers, manure and composts showing more effectiveness than their chemical counterparts.
