Iron oxides bond with available phosphorus in soil and prevent it from being used by plants. Tropical soils are really P deficient due to this.You could add literal tons of P fertilizers only to see very short term benefit, with the soil returning to its pre-application state
I don’t have the background for this but I still feel like this is pretty funny.

What is the use of phosphorus that isn't available to plants?
