As Hayat Essalmani suggested much of emphasis on lateral rooting has involved Phosphorus uptake which limited by immobility issues. The ability to greatly stimulate phosphorus mobility is by optimizing the mycorrhizal relationship with conclusive mycorrhizal relationship the Phosphorus optimization can by reduced by 70 to 80% of nonmycorrhizal plants. Another issue of practical concern is that humic materials are able to work as growth regulators. Growth factors and symbiotic relationship of mycorrhizae are all synergistic in their capacity to optimize results while minimizing the need for nutrient additions.

Dear Dr. Essalmani and Dr. Hepperly,

Thank you for your swift response. I was wondering if there is some recent literature that pointed to lateral root development exclusively associate to inorganic phosphorous available in the soil. Of course that the association with micorrizhal optimizes the phosphorus uptake and I am really happy that the discussion is moving in a broad direction. But I am justing questioning myself about the species of phosphorus around the lateral root.

Thanks and regards,

João
