Summary: The study developed an Fe/Al (hydr)oxides modified biochar (FA-BC) to reduce P leaching in calcareous soils, demonstrating its higher efficiency in P adsorption compared to raw biochar. The application of FA-BC significantly decreased total P leaching, while maintaining adequate levels of bioavailable P in the soil. Chemical sequestration tests and analyses further showed the transformation of labile Ca-P fractions into stabilized Fe/Al-P complexes, highlighting the superior P retention ability of FA-BC amended soils.

Summary: The study found that splitting fertilizer application into two does not significantly affect nutrient exports, indicating that the amount of fertilizer applied rather than the application regime is the predominant factor in nutrient loss.

Summary: Pasture-based and grass-fed branding are often associated with consumer perceptions of improved human health, environmental performance and animal welfare. However, there is insufficient evidence to suggest that grazed dairy systems have lower nutrient losses than confined ones, and trade-offs exist between systems at farm scale.

Summary: This study examined the impacts of different dairy farming systems on nitrogen and phosphorus losses from land globally, finding that confined systems performed best in terms of productivity, while grazed systems could mitigate animal welfare issues to a certain extent.

Summary: The availability and speciation of phosphorus in forest and meadow soils in the Lake Tahoe Basin are influenced by ecosystem and parent material, with organic phosphorus being a major component of soil phosphorus.

Summary: This review discusses the issue of non-point source pollution caused by phosphorus leaching from fertile soils and proposes the use of different phosphorus immobilization materials (PIM) to alleviate this pollution. The paper summarizes the application of different PIMs and the key factors affecting their performance. These studies can provide insights for developing more effective strategies to improve soil quality and yield and prevent agricultural non-point source pollution.

Summary: Gypsum amendment can reduce P export and protect water quality. The effect of gypsum on DRP leaching varies with the timing of P application. An interval of 1-2 months (shorter for coarse-textured soils; longer for fine-textured soils) should be adopted before applying P fertilizer to optimize the effectiveness of the gypsum treatment.

Summary: We are facing the challenge of sustainable phosphorus use due to high inputs and low efficiency in farmland. Organic P dynamics in the rhizosphere has received little attention, but it plays an important role in P availability to plants. This review focuses on the biological turnover of organic P in the rhizosphere and discusses strategies for more sustainable P use in agriculture.

Summary: Mycotoxins are harmful substances produced by fungi, and their occurrence and fate in soil and agro-environmental matrices are still poorly understood. Mass spectrometry is the safest and most reliable method for quantifying mycotoxins, and their levels in soils are in the microgram range. The retention of mycotoxins in soils is controlled by texture, with significant adsorption in clays and leaching potential in sandy soils.

Summary: This study investigated the impact of irrigation water quality on phosphorus (P) dynamics and leaching from saline-sodic soil during reclamation using gypsum alone or in combination with organic materials. The results showed that adding organic materials with gypsum increased the concentration of water-extractable P and reduced P leaching. The properties of the leachate, such as CO32-, HCO3-, pH, and SO(4)(2-)content, were found to be closely related to P leaching.

Summary: Identifying major sources and critical periods of P loss is important for reducing P loss in agricultural fields. A study found that applying P fertilizer increased P concentration in the water of a rice-oilseed rape rotation, and the initial 10 days after fertilization in the rice season were critical for reducing P runoff loss.

Summary: Measurement of pesticide concentrations in field studies under real-world conditions can improve the derivation of more representative modelling input parameters for exposure assessment in the authorization process of plant protection products. This study presents inverse modelling of environmental fate parameters based on solute concentrations from a field leaching study, quantifying sorption and degradation of the fungicide fluopicolide and its soil metabolite BAM. The results show that soil degradation half-lives were not different from regular field degradation studies, while sorption of the parent compound increased with time. This highlights the feasibility of including field leaching studies with measurements at different soil depths in regulatory exposure assessment.

Summary: This study investigates how root ideotypes function in complex environments with heterogeneous phosphorus distributions. The findings suggest that access to phosphorus is critical for plant growth, while root angle may influence the exploration for deep phosphorus bands. Additionally, starter-P and deep P bands can deliver complementary benefits in terms of plant growth and phosphorus uptake.

Summary: Quinoa is a promising crop that can tolerate different stress conditions and grow in marginal soils with low nutrient content. This study provides new insights into the phosphorus acquisition capacity of quinoa roots, finding that root biomass and morphology play a critical role in quinoa's phosphorus nutrition.

Summary: Carrot cultivation in Europe is facing infections from Candidatus Liberibacter solanacearum (CLso), a psyllid-transmitted bacterial pathogen. Field experiments in Finland revealed that psyllid feeding damage and CLso infection significantly affect carrot growth, with the impact of CLso infection on yield being strongly dependent on weather conditions in the Nordic region.
