Mobility of phosphorus from organic and inorganic source materials in a sandy soil

Purpose The long-term use of manure as a source of nutrients can promote phosphorus (P) leaching, especially in sandy soils. The aim was to evaluate P mobility from organic and mineral sources in columns, linked with the Dystric Xeropsamments adsorption characteristics with long-term organic fertilization regime. Methods The mineral, chemical, and physical properties of the […]

Original Article Vermicompost
Phosphorus species, fractions, and leaching risk in vermicompost-amended calcareous sandy loam soil

Purpose Organic matter has significant effects on phosphorus (P) retention in soil. Applying vermicompost (VC) as an organic amendment is an eco-friendly approach to increase sustainability in agriculture. There is a high potential of P loss by leaching or surface runoff from coarse-textured soils. Column leaching experiments were conducted to determine the effect of VC […]
