Reuse of phosphorus from organic waste streams in agriculture - an experimental analysis of the sustainability KU Leuven
Decades of excessive use of phosphorus (P) fertilisers in agriculture resulted in large soil P reserves in arable soils. This historical over-fertilisation contrasts with the impending scarcity of natural mineral P resources and with the adverse environmental effects due to losses of P to the natural environment; for these reasons, the reservoirs of soil P are often denoted as the legacy P. To reduce these environmental effects, ...
