SummaryA comparative study of sorption maxima (simple and double Langmuir equations) and buffer capacity of acid soils was made in order to select the most useful P-sorption parameter. Data were obtained from 20 acid soils from Galicia (north-west Spain) and selection was made by linear and multiple regressions among sorption parameters, and between these and some soil characteristics related to phosphate sorption (clay and organicmatter content, pH in NaF, and 0·5 M-CuCl2-extracted Al).The phosphate buffer capacity, determined by the slope of the regression ‘sorbed-P v. logc’, was the best parameter to represent soil phosphate sorption behaviour. 0·5 M-CuCl2- extracted Al was the edaphic characteristic which best related to sorption properties.

SUMMARYHydrolysis and sorption reaction of pyrophosphate (PP) in soils and uptake of PP by maize were studied using some acid soils from southern Nigeria. Rate of hydrolysis varied with the soil type, and half-lives of hydrolysis ranged from 10 to over 40 days in unsterilized soils and more than 40 days in all cases when the soils were sterilized. An appreciable fraction (over 40%) of the added PP resisted hydrolysis, the effect being more pronounced in the sterilized soils.Sorption of both PP and orthophosphate (OP) by soils followed the Langmuir isotherm. The adsorption capacity and bonding energy index for all soils were greater for PP than for OP.A short-term glasshouse experiment showed that PP was as good as OP as a source of P to maize. When the soils were limed to pH 6, PP appeared to be superior to OP.
