Truog P, Bray P, Olsen P, resin P, and surface P were all determined on samples of 17 surface soils from Michigan (from 5 great soil groups), and each soil was cropped in the greenhouse with barley for 4 weeks to determine P uptake and A values. Ca‐P, Al‐P, Fe‐P (by the Chang and Jackson procedure), and organic P were determined on 10 of these soils.
Correlation analyses indicate that short‐term uptake of P by barley in the greenhouse was highly correlated with Truog P, while A values, which may be more indicative of seasonal availability, were most highly correlated with Olsen, resin, and Bray P. Organic P and Fe‐P did not contribute to the P removed by any of the measurements. Truog P apparently removed portions of both the Ca‐P and Al‐P fractions, and P removed by cropping was also derived from these two fractions. All the other measurements were highly correlated with only Al‐P.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
