Conceptual models depicting the possible mechanisms involved in P nutrition in the plant-soil systems fertilized with FePO4 nanofertilizer (NF) (FePNF) or conventional fertilizer triple superphosphate (TSP) and without P fertilizer (–P). Specifically, TSP releases a higher quantity of available P (AP, Olsen P) that can, in turn, be acquired or subjected to absorption/precipitation in soil, and FePNF can directly interact with cucumber root apoplast/exudates and release P more slowly, either in solution or after absorption.
