Comparative evaluation of chitosan-based biopolymer and conventional phosphorus extractants on phosphorus availability, soil pH dynamics, and maize agronomic performance in amended soils
Phosphorus (P) availability in tropical soils is commonly restricted by strong fixation processes, mainly through adsorption onto iron and aluminum oxides and precipitation with calcium compounds, which significantly reduce its mobility and plant utilization. This study evaluated the effectiveness of chitosan-based biosorbents (nZvFe-CLCB) relative...
