Soil Solution Phosphate and Plant Root Interactions
After reading this article you will learn about soil solution phosphate and plant root interactions. Phosphates are absorbed by plants mostly as primary (H2PO4-) and secondary (HPO42-) orthophosphate ions which are present in the soil solution. The amount of each species of orthophosphate ions are controlled by the pH of the soil solution. At pH 7.2 there are almost equal [...]
