Phosphate (P) rock is a finite natural resource, and its use for P fertilizer production has resulted in its rapid depletion worldwide. In order to reduce the use of natural P resources, reducing the input of P into agricultural systems is necessary. The assessment of legacy P in soil is an option to maintain crop yield with low P fertilizer input. Many models have been tested to assess the contribution of legacy soil P to crop uptake. However, these models face a common challenge as conceptual soil P pools in models cannot be accurately initiated and evaluated using measured soil P indexes. In this study, a novel legacy P assessment (LePA) model was developed according to empirical equations about crop P uptake, soil Olsen-P, and total P from two long-term fertilizer experiments in typical calcareous and acidic soils in China. We used the DPPS (dynamic phosphorus pool simulator) model as a contrast model to estimate the simulation accuracy of the new LePA model. The calibration and validation datasets for both models were set-up by collecting data from two long-term fertilizer experiments in typical calcareous and acidic soils in China. The results showed that the LePA model simulated crop P uptake similar to the DPPS model in calcareous soil. While the DPPS model failed to depict crop P uptake under low pH conditions, the LePA model worked well after modification when limited crop growth caused by acidic conditions was considered. Moreover, the LePA model can also predict changes in soil TP and Olsen-P with P fertilizer application, which are new functions compared with the DPPS model. Based on a scenario analysis generated by the LePA model, P fertilizer application could be reduced by 52% in Yangling and 46% in Qiyang compared with the conventional application rate during this period to maintain the current yields if soil legacy P can be utilized efficiently. The LePA model is a useful tool for guiding soil P management from the field to country scales.

AbstractLegumes have been shown to enhance bioavailability of phosphorus (P) from sparingly soluble pools, yet this functional trait remains underutilized in agriculture, and is untested at decadal scales. Management and legume presence effects on temporal soil properties were evaluated in a 17-year field crop experiment using soil samples collected in 1992, 2000 and 2006. Management systems compared included: (1) conventional corn–soybean–wheat rotation (C–S–W), (2) organic (C–S–W+red clover), (3) alfalfa and (4) early successional field. To evaluate the effects of long-term management versus recent management (residues and P fertilizer) on P and bio-availability to soybean, subplots of soybean were established with and without P-fertilizer (30 kg P ha−1), and compared to subplots and main plot with the long-term system. We evaluated soil properties (C, total P, Bray extractable inorganic P, particulate organic matter phosphorus) and soybean P uptake, biomass and yield. Recent fertilizer P inputs had no detectable influence on soil P, and total soil P stayed stable at ~350 mg P kg−1, whereas inorganic P (Pi) declined from an initial value of 54 to an average of 35 mg P kg−1. A P balance was constructed and showed a net loss of −96.7 kg P ha−1 yr−1 for the organic system, yet Bray-Pi and soybean P uptake were maintained under organic production at similar levels to the conventional, fertilized system. Particulate organic matter P was 57, 82 and 128% higher in organic, alfalfa and successional treatments, respectively, compared to conventional. A similar pattern was observed for soil C, soybean yield and bioavailable P, which were 20–50% higher in the organic, alfalfa and successional systems relative to conventional. This study provides evidence that long-term management history influences bioavailability of P.

Inceptisol is a young and newly developed soil so it needs to be optimized for crop cultivation. The aim of this research is to know the availability of soil P, P uptake and corn yield after application of granular composting of sago waste (KGES) together with phosphate fertilizer to Inceptisols soil. The experimental treatment was KGES which consisted of three levels: without KGES, 40 tons KGES ha-1, and 80 tons KGES ha-1, and the use of SP-36 (P) fertilizer consisting of three levels: without P fertilizer, 120 kg P ha-1, and 240 kg P ha-1. The experiment used a complete randomized design with 3 replications. The result of the experiment was analyzed variance and relationship test using interlaced analysis. The results showed that KGES together with phosphate fertilizers could increase soil pH causing phosphate to be available and plant roots could absorb nutrient phosphate well, so that the yield of corn kiln dry weight also increased. The highest yield of dry weight of grains (7.85 tons per ha) was obtained from a combination of 80 tons of KGES ha-1 and 240 kg P ha-1.Keyword: Keywords: Ella Sago, Inseptisols, maize, phosphate

Cow manure is a good source of phosphorus (P). Here, we investigated whether the amount of P fertilizer can be reduced when cow manure is applied to paddy soil based on growth, P uptake, yield, and soil P status evaluation. Treatments included unfertilized control (CK); manure plus chemical nitrogen (N), potassium (K), and P fertilizer (MNK P); MNK and 75% P (MNK ¾ P); MNK and 50% P (MNK ½ P); MNK and 25% P (MNK ¼ P); and MNK. Manure was applied at the rate of 10 t ha−1 in fresh weight base. The P fertilizer was applied at 34.9 kg P ha−1 as full dose. Treatment with MNK resulted in the same growth, P uptake, and yield as that with the P fertilizer. P uptake and yield did not respond to P input from chemical fertilizer owing to high soil Olsen P levels. Moreover, MNK could maintain soil Olsen P and total P. Manure application resulted in a positive partial P balance. These results suggest that manure application can cut P fertilizer requirements in P-rich soils, while maintaining soil P for optimal rice growth and yield. By using cow manure in rice production, farmers can conserve finite P resources.

A research was carried out at glass house and at Soil Laboratory of Faculty of Agriculture, Andalas University Padang. The experiment was aimed to determine the interaction between humic material from compost and P fertilizer on some chemical properties of Oxisol, nutrient uptake and corn production. This experiment consisted of 2 factors (4 x 4) with three replications which were allocated in completely randomized design (CRD). The first factor was humic material having 4 doses (0, 400, 800, and 1200 ppm) and the 2nd factor was P fertilizer having 4 doses (100%, 75%, 50%, and 25% of recomendation (R)). The result showed that there was : 1) Interaction between humic materials and P fertilizer for the quality the corn seeds. Application of 800 ppm humic material improved the quality of the seeds even though at low level of P fertilizer. 2) Then, it also increased availability of P by 23.03 ppm, N total by 0.09 %, and decreased Al-exch by 0.53 me (100 g)-1 and Fe-exch by 25.62 ppm compared to threatment without application of humic material. Likewise, nutrients (N and P) uptake by plant also increased by 0.28 and 0.03 %, respectively. 3) Application of P fertilizer at 75 % R increased soil P availability by 3.77 ppm, N and P content of plant by 0.43 % and 0.06 %, and seed weight by 13.20 g and decreased Fe-exch by 21.16 ppm, compared to 25 % R of P fertilizer.Keywords : humic material, P- fertilizer, nutrient uptake

SUMMARYPredictive models for the accumulation of available phosphorus (Olsen-P, extracted with 0·5 mol/l sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3) at pH 8·5) in the north-western arid areas of China, especially in Xinjiang, are essential for the improved management of phosphorus (P) fertilizers. In the present study, an accumulation model for Olsen-P in grey desert soil (Calcaric Cambisol) was developed using the data for initial Olsen-P in soil, P fertilizer application rate (organic and inorganic P), crop yields, and soil pH from a 22-year long-term experiment (1990–2011) with 3-year rotation of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), maize (Zea mays L.) and cotton (Gossypium spp.). The model was also validated independently using previously published data from the literature. The results indicated an average net accumulation of Olsen-P in the plough layer (0–200 mm) of 0·36 mg/kg/year (from 0·083 to 0·47 mg/kg/year) when P fertilizer was applied, while an average net Olsen-P loss of 0·12 mg/kg/year (from 0·067 to 0·26 mg/kg/year) was observed without P fertilization in the soil. For target yields of wheat, maize and cotton at 5, 6 and 6 tonne/ha (t/ha), respectively, in soil with pH 8, the rates of Olsen-P increase in the soil as estimated by the model were 0·11, 0·24, 0·36, 0·49 and 0·61 mg/kg/year when P application rates were 60, 70, 80, 90 and 100 kg P/ha per 3-year period, respectively. For every 100 kg/ha of P surplus, Olsen-P increased by 1·1 mg/kg in Xinjiang grey desert soil. This Olsen-P accumulation model was valuable for the management of soil P in agricultural production and environmental protection in north-western China and other arid areas planted with a yearly rotation of wheat, maize or cotton.

The residual effect of repeated P fertilizer applications was studied in a material of 30 silty clay soil samples collected from an 11-year field experiment in which a total of 0, 154, 309, 541 or 696 kg P/ha had been applied in annual doses. Half of the experiment had been limed twice with CaCO3 (10 tons/ha). In a pot experiment, six yields of Italian ryegrass were grown in soils taken from each plot, and the P uptake by the grass was determined. Soil P was extracted with water (Pw) and 0.5 M ammonium acetate-0.5 M acetic acid at pH 4.65 (PAAAC)- Reversibly adsorbed P (Pi) was extracted by a new method in which P desorbing from the soil was collected in strips of filter paper impregnated with iron hydroxide. P uptake by pot-grown grass from soils fertilized with increasing rates of P in the field corresponded to 30, 72, 100 and 112 kg larger quantities of P per hectare, compared to the soil not receiving P in the field experiment. The apparent utilization of residual fertilizer P ranged from 16 % to 25 %. The reserve of potentially desorbable P in soil had been affected much more by the fertilizer applications than had P uptake by crops in the field. The ability of the three extraction methods (Pw, Pi, PAAAC) to predict P uptake by pot-grown ryegrass was discussed. The Pi method appeared to be well suited for assessment of potentially available P reserves both in limed and unlimed soils.

In the Netherlands the Pw value, based on an extraction of soil P with water, is used as a basis for P-fertilizer recommendations for arable crops. Using a simple, mechanistic model of P transport in the soil the Pw value required for adequate P uptake by crops can be calculated on the basis of daily uptake requirements, root area index, P-adsorption isotherms and total amount of P taken up during a growing season. Calculated Pw values for adequate uptake are in the same range as the present recommendation scheme based on field experiments. Possible refinements of the model are discussed. For each soil the Pw value can be calculated that corresponds to the P concentrations in the soil solution according to standards set to reduce environmental pollution. The model predicts that, unless the root area index of non-cereal crops is considerably improved, these standards cannot be met in the plough layer without affecting crop production levels. Calculations show that the present method of determining the Pw value yields a reasonable compromise between a measurement of intensity and capacity of P supply in the soil.
