In this study experiments primarily aimed at the needs of specification of an adequate soil reserve of labile sulphur were extended by investigations of the impact on interactions in nutrient uptake by a test barley plant. Vegetation (18-day) experiments under controlled conditions of cultivation were conducted on a diverse set of 48 soils from agricultural lands. Before barley sowing the experimental set of soils was divided into two variants: A &ndash; control (with NH<sub>4</sub>Cl application) and B &ndash; response variant [with (NH<sub>4</sub>)<sub>2</sub>SO<sub>4</sub> application], and a uniform dose of 26 mg N/kg soil was used. After the experiment terminated, concentrations of N, N-NO<sub>3</sub><sup>&ndash;</sup>, S, S-SO<sub>4</sub><sup>2&ndash;</sup>, P, K, Mg, Ca, Na, Mn and B were determined. Paired t-test revealed significant differences between the sets of data on variants A and B in barley yield and concentrations of sulphur, sulphate, nitrate, phosphorus and boron in barley plants. Sulphate variant (B) had higher yield of barley, higher concentrations of sulphur, sulphate and boron and lower concentrations of nitrate and phosphorus compared to variant A. The lower concentrations of nitrate and phosphorus could not be reasoned by the effect of dilution resulting from the higher barley yield. A substantial decrease in nitrate concentration was related to better utilisation of plant nitrogen after the nutrient status of soil was adjusted with sulphur. Phosphorus concentration in barley adequately corresponded to the soil reserve of labile phosphorus, but only after the phosphorus concentration in barley markedly decreased to the lower level in (sulphate) variant B. Higher concentration of boron in barley could potentially be related to the depression of phosphorus uptake after sulphate application.

The effects of aluminium (0, 0.5, 1.0, and 2.0 p.p.m.) on dry matter production and subsequent short-term uptake and translocation of phosphorus in whole plants, and on the uptake of phosphorus by excised roots, of six tropical pasture legumes were ascertained. Macroptilium lathyroides, Desrnodiurn uncinaturn, Lotononis bainesii, and Stylosanthes hurnilis were tolerant species in terms of effects on dry matter production. Glycine wightii was a sensitive species and Medicago sativa a very sensitive one. In the whole plant study, plants were grown in Solution culture with a phosphorus concentration of 2 p.p.m., under the above aluminium treatments. Aluminium increased the subsequent uptake of phosphorus (tops+roots) in all species (phosphorus substrate concentration 1 x 10-5M labelled with 32P, 1 and 3 hr uptake periods). Phosphorus uptake in the tops of the four tolerant species was increased by aluminium treatment, and in the two sensitive species it uas reduced. In both the absence and presence of applied aluminium, L. bainesii was the most efficient species per unit weight of root tissue in sorbing total phosphorus, and in addition had the highest efficiency of translocation of phosphorus from roots to tops. S. humilis was also an efficient species. In the excised root study, addition of aluminium to the solution enhanced the sorption of phosphorus by all species. The enhancement was greater in a relatively strong phosphorus solution (2 x 10-4 M) than in a dilute solution (1 x 10-4). The sorption of phosphorus by excised roots of S. humilis from dilute and relatively strong phosphorus substrates was greater than that of other species, both in the absence and presence of added aluminium. L. bainesii was omitted from the excised root experiments.

Liquid phosphorus (23% phosphoric acid) was applied preemergence at 0, 22.4, 44.8, 67.2, or 89.6 kg·ha-1 to 9 fields: 3 commercial blueberry fields having plants with very low (<.111%), 3 low (.111-.125%), and 3 adequate (>.125%) leaf phosphorus concentrations. Years of application ('89,'89+'91,'89 + '91 + '93) were assigned in a split-block RCB design with 4 replications at each location. A linear increase in leaf phosphorus concentration with increasing rates of P application was found in both 1989 and 1991. Differences in response were found among locations. A second application in 1991 was effective in raising leaf P levels at most locations to higher levels than the application in 1989. Also, there were higher levels of leaf P in treatment plots that only received P fertilizer in 1989 compared to controls, indicating a carry over effect.

In freshwater systems, phosphorus is adsorbed predominantly to clay within the sediments. Assuming a linear adsorption/desorption isotherm, rapid equilibrium adsorption, and transport by molecular diffusion, estimates are derived for (a) the rates of exchange between the adsorbed phosphorus pool in the sediments and the dissolved pool in the water column and (b) time scales to re-establish equilibrium after a step change in the water column phosphorus concentration. For oxic sediments, the time scale is of the order of tens of days. Anoxic release is much faster;the time scale is tens of minutes. The release of treated sewage at Narrabri abruptly raises the phosphorus concentration in the Namoi River. The concentration only returns to its original level 10–20 km downstream. A sediment adsorptive-uptake model underestimates the downstream phosphorus uptake rates. An alternative model, based on biotic uptake by Cladophora , describes reality better. It treats phosphorus transfer as controlled by physical transport processes and by the phosphorus uptake capacity of the biota. We show also that carp resuspension is faster than diffusion (6 v. 28 days) in restoring phosphorus concentrations in the water column after perturbation by rapid algal drawdown.

The response of winter-sown carrots to rate and timing of phosphorus application on Joel sands was investigated at 2 commercial vegetable property sites on the Swan Coastal Plain in 1996. Phosphorus was applied at rates from 0 to 160 kg/ha at 2 times of application either 100% broadcast to the soil surface and incorporated before sowing (BS) or 25% broadcast and incorporated before sowing with 75% broadcast to the soil surface (not incorporated) after sowing in 5 equal-sized applications of 15% every 3 weeks, commencing 3 weeks after sowing (BS + AS ). There was a significant increase in total yield in response to rate and time of application of phosphorus at both sites. Total yield was 3–10% higher in the BA &plus; AS than in the BS treatment at site 1 and 10–35% higher at site 2. Marketable yield was 21% higher at site 2 in the BS + AS compared with the BS treatment. Total and marketable yields were maximised at 40–80 kg/ha applied P at both sites. The concentration of phosphorus (%DW) in the youngest mature leaves at mid-growth was up to 30–35% higher in the BS + AS than in the BS treatment. Consequently, the percentage of phosphorus corresponding to the rate of applied phosphorus necessary for maximum yield was higher in the BS + AS than in the BS treatment. Thus, critical concentrations of phosphorus in the youngest mature leaves required for maximum yield of carrots should take account of timing of phosphorus application. Exponential regressions best described the relationship of phosphorus uptake (phosphorus concentration yield) by roots or whole plants to rate and timing of applied phosphorus. Phosphorus uptake by roots and whole plants increased with rate of applied phosphorus and was higher in the BS + AS than in the BS treatment. Recovery efficiency of fertiliser phosphorus by whole plants was 2.0–3.0-fold higher in the BS + AS treatment than in the BS treatment at 40–80 kg P/ha.

Samples of Christmas Island and Florida rock phosphates with different particle size ranges were applied to a phosphorus-deficient acid sandy soil. The rock phosphates were compared with monocalcium phosphate at various levels of addition of phosphorus. The fertilizers were mixed uniformly with either the top 1, 5, or 10 cm of the soil. Dry matter yield and phosphorus uptake in the tops of subterranean clover (Trifolium subterraneum) and the distribution (by weight) of the roots in the soil were determined. Monocalcium phosphate produced higher dry matter yields (tops and roots) than rock phosphates, even when the latter were applied in amounts containing four times the amount of phosphorus added as monocalcium phosphate. The concentration and uptake of phosphorus in the tops was also higher when monocalcium phosphate was applied, although the difference in concentration decreased as the plants matured. Dry matter yield and phosphorus concentration in the clover tops were increased by increasing the fineness of grinding of rock phosphate and by increasing the depth of mixing with the soil. Increasing the depth of mixing also produced a greater weight and more even distribution of roots. The yield of tops and roots was unaffected by the depth to which monocalcium phosphate was mixed, although shallow placement concentrated the distribution of the roots near the soil surface. Florida rock phosphate was a better source of phosphorus for subterranean clover than Christmas Island rock when the samples were coarsely ground, but both rocks were equally effective when ground to give 70 per cent < 100 mesh B.S.S.

Herbage quality (in vitro digestibility, nitrogen and phosphorus concentrations) of plucked samples, and above ground nutrient uptakes (nitrogen and phosphorus) were compared on plots differing in land condition at 10 sites in northern Australia. Over all sites there was a significant increase in digestibility and nitrogen concentration, and a significant decrease in phosphorus concentration, as land condition declined. Both nitrogen and phosphorus uptake decreased as land condition declined. The results indicate that diet quality may be higher from land in poor condition. However, the large decrease in pasture productivity associated with declining land condition may more than offset this apparent improvement in feed quality.

Fusarium crown rot (FCR) is a major limitation to the wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) industry in the inland Pacific Northwest (PNW), USA. Genetic resistance to FCR is poorly understood and major-gene resistance is not available in adapted cultivars. Chemical control is ineffective and crop rotations, which disrupt cycles of the disease, are not feasible in the region’s precipitation-limited climate. Cultural control methods are the only realistic option for farmers who struggle to minimize the impact of this disease. It is well-established that FCR is favored by moisture-limited environments and an oversupply of plant-available nitrogen in soil. Effects of the supply of phosphorus in soil have not been clearly delineated. We conducted a two-year FCR experiment at two locations in the low precipitation (< 30 cm) zone of north-central Oregon. Phosphorus fertilizer was applied in-furrow, at rates of 0, 5, and 15 kg P ha-1, to plots planted with either a hard red or soft white winter wheat cultivar. The 15 kg P ha-1 application rate increased tissue phosphorus concentration, early season dry matter, and phosphorus uptake at both locations and both years of this study. Phosphorus treatment had no effect on grain yield, protein, or test weight. Phosphorus had no effect on the severity of FCR. This research improved our knowledge of cultural management boundaries as they relate to the control of FCR.

The rapid fixation of phosphorus fertilizers in soil with a high content of calcium carbonate requires efficient management methods for phosphorus fertilization, especially as regards the time of application. For this purpose, a field experiment was carried out in the summer season of 2006/2007 in the experimental farm of the Soils Department, Faculty of Agriculture, Mansoura University, Egypt to evaluate the best time for phosphorus fertilization to cowpea on Egyptian alluvial soil. The results showed that adding half the recommended phosphorus fertilization rate at sowing and the other half before the first irrigation was the best treatment to enhance phosphorus fertilizer use efficiency, contributing to an increased uptake of phosphorus by cowpea, reflected in the higher phosphorus concentration in the grains. Increased phosphorus uptake also caused an increase in the nitrogen and potassium concentrations in cowpea grains, whereas the zinc and iron concentrations decreased.
