Rhizosphere pH and phosphorus forms in an Oxisol cultivated with soybean, brachiaria grass, millet and sorghum

Abstract: days of cultivation, the soil was divided into the layers of 0-1, 1-2, 2-3, 3-4, 4-5, 5-7, 7-9, and 9-14 mm from the rhizoplane and air dried to determine pH and P contents through Hedley fractionation.In the 1-2 and 2-3 mm layers, soybean cultivation caused an increase in pH when compared to the control treatment (without plants). In the other layers, there were no alterations in pH due to cultivation of plants. The cultivation of millet, brachiaria grass, and sorghum reduced the inorganic P content in the mo… Show more

“…The fraction of P extracted with 0.1 M NaOH generally increased with P application, although no significant effects of Congo grass cultivation or interactions were observed (Table 2). Schoninger et al (2012) observed that brachiaria grass reduced the most available P forms only in the 0-1 mm layer from the rhizosphere. Under field conditions, a large amount of P added as fertilizer is adsorbed in soil and remains in moderately labile fractions (Pavinato et al, 2009).…”

“…It is also the raw material for proteins formation and promotes the assimilation and respiratory process. Furthermore, phosphorus is also beneficial in accelerating the crop generative phase, as well as ripening seeds and fruits (Schoninger, Gatiboni, & Ernani, 2012).…”

“…Phosphorus is the third most important essential soil nutrient element after soil C and N but P is the second most limiting mineral after N in promoting plant growth and crop yields [4,5] . Phosphorus is involved in cellular energy transfer, respiration and photosynthesis, thus its supply at low levels can affect legume nodulation and N 2 fixation [6,7] .…”
