“…Positive correlation coefficients with P-rem are due to the fact that in more buffered, the P-rem is lower . The higher correlation coefficients obtained between Prr-M3 and P-rem and MPAC than with soil clay content is because P-rem and MPAC are two measures which, besides reflecting soil clay content, also indicate, indirectly, the quality of the clay, if it has more or less phosphate adsorption sites (Alvarez and Fonseca, 1990;Rogeri et al, 2016). Since P-rem and clay content are routinely performed in the laboratories of soil analysis, equations that relate Prr-M3 with these two attributes were established (Figure 4).…”
