Having previously confirmed dieback is resistant to chemical control on crops such as avocados, stone fruits and pines, Curtin University researchers have gained new insights into how phosphite works ...

And when the USF team cracked this one open, they discovered a strange new form of calcium phosphite. “We have never seen this material occur naturally on Earth – minerals similar to it can be found ...

A study finds that transgenic cotton plants expressing the bacterial gene ptxD can convert phosphite, a nonmetabolizable form of phosphorus, into phosphate, the nutrient form of phosphorus; when ...

Potassium phosphite represents a promising inorganic salt in the realm of plant disease management, utilising a dual mode of action that combines direct antimicrobial effects with the induction of ...

Our story begins at the end of the 1980s, with a sheet of paper. On this sheet, a scientist calculated that the conversion of the chemical compound phosphite to phosphate would release enough energy ...

Dover Chemical Corp. reports its high molecular weight phosphite antioxidant has received food contact clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Doverphos LGP-11 is free of alkylphenols ...

Scientists may not know for certain whether life exists in outer space, but research now shows that one key element that produced life on Earth was carried here on meteorites. In a new study, ...

Monopotassium phosphite is a chemical compound with the molecular formula KH 2 PO 3. It is a salt of phosphorous acid and is commonly used as a fertilizer in agriculture. Monopotassium phosphite ...

High crop yields depend on the continuous input of orthophosphate (PO 4 −3)-based fertilizers and herbicides 1,2. Two major challenges for agriculture are that phosphorus is a nonrenewable resource ...

Early microbes may have relied on lightning to cook their dinner, say researchers. When lightning strikes sand or sediment, the path followed by the bolt can fuse into a glassy tube called a fulgurite ...
