 Phosphorus deficiency - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Phosphorus (P) deficiency is a plant disorder that is most common in areas of high rainfall, especially on acid, clay or poor chalk soils.
Phosphorus deficiency may be confused with nitrogen deficiency.
Plants that are naturally adapted to low levels of available soil phosphorus, however, are more likely to suffer from phosphate poisoning: the key is to provide the right level for any particular plant type, neither too high nor too low.

 Phosphorus
Phosphorus, mainly in the form of phosphates, is widely distributed in the food supply, and phosphorus intake from the normal diet is usually sufficient to meet the body's phosphorus needs.
Phosphorus is transported via the portal circulation to the liver where the hepatocytes extract a fraction of it for their metabolic requirements.
Phosphorus is transported via the systemic circulation to the various tissues of the body, where it is used for the metabolic requirements of these tissues.

 Phosphorus, Linus Pauling Institute's Micronutrient Information Center
Phosphorus is an essential mineral that is required by every cell in the body for normal function (1).
Phosphorus is a major structural component of bone in the form of a calcium phosphate salt called hydroxyapatite.
The increased urinary excretion of phosphorus is advantageous in bringing blood calcium levels up to normal because high blood levels of phosphate suppress the conversion of vitamin D to its active form in the kidneys (4).

 Farmnote 42/1994 : Phosphorus deficiency in subterranean clover [Reviewed 1999] : Department of Agriculture   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
Phosphorus deficiency in subterranean clover is mainly found on newly cleared phosphorus deficient soils, or on old land that has not been fertilised with phosphatic fertilisers for many years (more than 15 years).

Phosphorus deficiency in grapevines inhibits the initiation and maintenance of fruit clusters and flowers within developing buds.
All these effects of phosphorus deficiency are due to disrupted biological processes, including the synthesis of molecules, energy transfer, and photosynthesis.
Inoculation of young grapevines in fumigated soil with selected mycorrhizae may result in infection and increased vine growth, but introduced fungi are generally not as effective as native fungi and recovery from fumigation is usually not complete.

 Practical Winery & Vineyard Magazine - January / February 1999 -Managing phosphorus deficiency   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
It is essential that only soluble phosphorus fertilizers be applied and that only very low concentrations of calcium and magnesium be present in the water flowing through a drip system while phosphorus is being injected to avoid emitter clogging.
Rock phosphate, the raw material from which commercial phosphorus fertilizers are made, is commonly used by organic growers to correct phosphorus deficiencies because other fertilizers accepted by organic certifying organizations contain much less phosphorus.
Regardless of the type of phosphorus fertilizer, it is beneficial to apply it to low-P soils in advance of planting a new vineyard to allow it time to saturate the soil’s P-adsorption capacity and become available for vine uptake.
