Testing Soils for Phosphorus
Abstract
The major purpose of testing soils for phosphorus (P) is to determine the quantity of supplemental P required to prevent economic loss of crop value because of P deficiency. A second purpose for testing soils for P is to monitor the quantity of available P present over time. This chapter aims to review the facets of testing soils for P including interpretation of the test results. In the process, an attempt is made to indicate what existing soil test methodology can and cannot do. A greenhouse experiment on millet demonstrated that P uptake increased as soil moisture increased at a soil temperature of 27 °C, but not at 16 °C. The quantity of labile P in a soil is just one of several factors that determine the plant availability of soil P. The chapter discusses factors more specific to soil test P calibration and interpretation.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
