Mined phosphate fertilizer reserves have been estimated to last at least until the year 2300, with 80% of the global phosphorus supply located in Morocco and Western Sahara. Due to recent global conflicts,...

As an essential nutrient vital for plant growth and development, phosphorus plays a pivotal role in numerous physiological processes, ranging from energy transfer to DNA synthesis. Growing hydroponically with soluble nutrients, coco coir is a versatile and efficient substrate, offering an ideal environment for nutrient uptake and utilization. However, coco, much like other hydroponic substrates, has the potential to store too much phosphorus, and when...
