Geological Nutrient Sourcing of Potassium and Phosphorus in Agricultural Crops
Abstract: Potassium and phosphorus can be considered as important nutrients and are being supplied as ingredients in the fertilizers. In presence of potassium, the crop yields, shelf life, disease resistance and plant growth are improved. The mineral fertilizers have enhanced the crop yields and they are expected to segregate spatially. Due to the utilization of the mineral fertilizers, there was intensification of crops and they have helped humans to consume healthy …
