Boron availability and fertilizer response of maize in soils from sub‐Saharan Africa
Abstract Background and aims Low boron (B) availability is associated with strongly weathered, coarse‐textured, and low organic matter soils, widespread in sub‐Saharan Africa (SSA). It is unknown to what extent B fertilization can increase maize yields in SSA.

Borax Promotes Fertility of Brassica napus Better Than Other Boron Species at Suboptimal Supply
ABSTRACT Background Continuous and sufficient boron (B) supply is essential for achieving maximum yield in Brassica napus. Increasing incidences of environmental water limitation are linked to reduced plant B availability and increased B deficiencies.

Acidification of Biogas Residues Stimulates Manganese Uptake in Wheat
ABSTRACT Background Efficient application of organic fertilizers contributes to resource‐efficient agriculture. Acidification of liquid manure effectively reduces ammonia (NH3) emissions. However, the effect of acidification on other plant nutrients, such as Mn, often a yield‐limiting nutrient in cereal production, is not well understood.

A First Quantitative Assessment of Soil Health at European Scale Considering Soil Genesis
ABSTRACT Background Soil health degradation is a major threat to European food security, biodiversity, and climate stability. While scientists have debated how to define soil health during recent decades, a quantifiable framework for monitoring, management, and policy remains lacking.

ABSTRACT Background P‐fertilizers made from sewage sludge ash (SSA) may be suitable substitutes for rock phosphate (RP)‐based fertilizers and contribute to sustainable use of waste. In this context, the thermochemical AshDec treatment of SSA (TC‐SSA) has been continuously improved and has emerged as a possible method to produce plant‐available and low ...
