An essential chemical food element. Increased phosphorous levels caused by fertilisers and detergents washing into lakes and rivers can result in algae growth, killing fish and water plants.
an inorganic nutrient essential for plant growth and reproduction; excess can cause eutrophication; problems are usually associated with farmland runoff, sewage, and detergents.
A chemical element present in rocks, soils, plants and animals. It is essential for growth and is present in many fertilisers, but through run-off it may contribute to the formation of algal blooms in waterways.
A chemical element, atomic number 15, used as a dopant in making n-semiconductor layers.
Category: Nutrient/ Mineral Phosphorous is a nutrient mineral that works with calcium to build healthy bones and teeth. Phosphorous is also involved in energy production andmuscle contraction. Deficiency symptoms include loss of weight and appetite, irregular breathing, fatigue, nervous disorders. more info on Phosphorous!-- google_ad_client = "pub-2606017528332089"; google_ad_width = 120; google_ad_height = 600; google_ad_format = "120x600_as"; google_ad_channel =""; google_ad_type = "text_image"; //--!-- google_ad_client = "pub-2606017528332089"; google_ad_width = 468; google_ad_height = 60; google_ad_format = "468x60_as"; google_ad_type = "text"; google_ad_channel =""; google_color_border = "CCCC66"; google_color_bg = "FFFFFF"; google_color_link = "0000FF"; google_color_url = "008000"; google_color_text = "000000";
Sore throats and tonsillitis, also mastitis and other nipple or breast problems. The mineral phosphorous is an essential constituent of the body, particularly the bones. As an important constitutional remedy, it can help many problems where the personality and symptoms agree. It has special effects on the digestive tract and respiratory airways.
One of the nine macronutrients. It is a component of nucleic acid (genetic material), of ADP and ATP (which are vehicles of energy transfer in and amongst cells), and of several coenzymes (which activate biochemical processes). It is responsible for root development, as well as flower and fruit formation. Phosphorus deficiencies are difficult to identify, but you may see a reddening or general darkening of the foliage. Chicken manure is phosphorus rich, more so than other manures. Liming will also increase phosphorus levels in most soils.
An important trace element, particularly in marine tanks.
An important trace element in the marine tank. Phosphorous is an element that helps composed ATP (adenosine triphosphate) which is a building block for genetic material, specifically DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid).
An important trace element in the marine tank. Phosphorous is an essential element in the formation of new DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) and it forms the high-energy bonds of ATP (adenosine triphosphate), which is the “energy-currency” of all life. When introduced into the aquarium through organic or inorganic means it promotes excessive algae growth. Phosphorous can be removed through water changes. See also Phosphate.
A solid nonmetallic chemical element with atomic number 15 and atomic weight 30.9738. Found in a wide variety of chemicals for industrial, residential and agricultural applications. Phosphites, phosphonates and phosphates are said to be used as additives in lubricant formulations as stabilizers, antiwear additives, antioxidants, metal passivators and extreme pressure additives.
Highly reactive element and limiting nutrient found in living tissue. Contributes to soil and water pollution as a nutrient, leading to algal blooms and the depletion of aquatic oxygen in waterways ( see Eutrophication).
An essential element of bonsai nutrition and identified by the chemical symbol P. It encourages root development and also ripening of fruit and seeds.
a plant nutrient that can cause an overabundance of bacteria and algae when high amounts are present, leading to a depletion of oxygen and fish kills. High levels of phosphorous in water are usually caused by agricultural runoff or improperly operating wastewater treatment plants. Also see nitrogen.
A chemical element essential for growth. It is present in many fertilisers and its overuse may contribute to the formation of algal blooms in waterways.
(P) - This mineral is used for bone and tooth formation, cell growth and repair, heart muscle contractions, energy production, calcium and sugar metabolism and kidney function.
a non-metallic element designated with the chemical symbol P; an essential nutrient for plants and animals; usually present in natural waters as phosphate.
One of the essential elements of plant nutrition, identified by the chemical symbol P. It encourages root development and also ripening of fruit and seeds.
An element essential to the growth and development of plants; occurs in manure and chemical fertilizer and, in excess, can cause waters to become polluted by promoting excessive growth of algae and other aquatic plants.
(FOS-for-us) Having to do with or containing the element phosphorus.
A chemical element naturally present in wood. Discharges to water can cause nutrient enrichment, leading to luxuriant plant growth and subsequent oxygen deficiency when the plants decompose – a process called eutrophication.
