Summary
Abstract This study presents a literature review focusing on the placement of phosphorus‐rich fertilizers, evaluating their agronomic efficiency and potential benefits to plant growth. While the placement of mineral phosphorus fertilizer offers benefits such as increased early season phosphorus uptake and higher yields, the success of this practice is strongly influenced by factors such as soil type, weather conditions, production system, application depth and others. However, the placement of biowaste and biobased fertilizers can have drawbacks. This review highlights the negative effects associated with the placement of biobased fertilizers, primarily due to low phosphorus solubility and unbalanced nutrient composition, resulting in reduced reactivity and potential ammonium toxicity.
