A Novel Phosphate Fertiliser Enhanced by Biofertiliser Technology

该项目将有效利用有限的优质磷矿作为肥料-磷，同时逆转和防止土壤酸化。利用澳大利亚微生物生物多样性带来的这些具有成本效益的好处将对澳大利亚农村地区的经济和环境产生重大影响，增加农业的盈利能力，并减少营养物质污染水生系统和地下水导致藻类大量繁殖的可能性。通过解决对肥料-P的需求，同时防止土壤酸化，农民有望欢迎这项新的肥料技术。

This project will deliver efficient use of the limited supplies of high quality phosphorus minerals as fertiliser-P, simultaneously acting to reverse and prevent soil acidification. These cost-effective benefits from utilising Australia's microbial biodiversity will have major economic and environmental impacts in rural Australia,increasing the profitability of farming and reducing the potential for contamination of aquatic systems and groundwater with nutrients causing algal blooms. By solving needs for fertiliser-P while preventing acidification of soil, farmers are expected to welcome this novel fertiliser technology.
