Soil phosphorus fractions following annual paper mill biosolids and liming materials application. Can. J. Soil Sci. 90: 467Á479. Industrial by-products such as paper mill biosolids (PB) and different liming materials have been used as fertilizers and amendments in agricultural soils for many decades. However, little is known about the effects of their repeated application on soil nutrient availability, particularly phosphorus (P). A 6-yr field study (2000Á2005) was conducted in the province of Quebec to investigate the effect of repeated annual applications of different PB and industrial by-products on selected soil chemical properties, especially soil P fractions. Different PB rates (0 to 90 Mg wet ha(1 ) and several liming products (lime mud, wood ash, calcitic lime, and Mg by-products) were annually applied to field crops after seeding. Soils were sampled before seeding in May 2003 and at harvest in October 2005. Results showed that HCl-P was the largest P pool, accounting for about 64% of the total P fraction, and that the repeated applications of liming products significantly increased this pool and decreased the organic P pools. The NaOH-Po and residual-P were significantly lower in 2005 than in 2003, indicating that PB application without supplemental P fertilizer inputs enhanced the mobility and/or mineralization of NaOH-Po and the transformation of recalcitrant P to more labile forms with time. Lime mud (LM) was found to be the best liming material owing to its high neutralization capacity and positive effect on soil P availability over time.Key words: Paper mill biosolids, alkaline residuals, lime, wood ash, soil P fractions Fan, J.

Les sous-produits industriels tel que les biosolides papetiers (BP) et les diffe´rents re´sidus alcalins ont e´te´utilise´s comme fertilisants et amendements en agriculture depuis plusieurs de´cennies. Toutefois, l'effet de leur application re´pe´te´e sur la disponibilite´des nutriments du sol, en particulier le phosphore (P), est encore mal connu. Une e´tude au champ de six ans (2000Á2005) a e´te´conduite dans la province de Que´bec pour e´valuer l'effet d'applications re´pe´te´es de diffe´rents BP et de re´sidus alcalins sur certaines proprie´te´s chimiques du sol, notamment les diffe´rentes fractions du P. Diffe´rents taux de BP (0 a`90 Mg humide ha (1 ) et quelques re´sidus alcalins (boues de chaux, cendres de bois, chaux calcique, sous-produit-magne´siens) ont e´te´applique´s annuellement en post-leve´e a`diffe´rentes cultures. Les sols ont e´te´e´chantillonne´s avant le semis en mai 2003 et a`la re´colte en octobre 2005. Les re´sultats ont indique´que le HCl-P est la fraction la plus importante repre´sentant environ 64% de toutes les fractions totales de P. Les applications re´pe´te´es de re´sidus alcalins ont significativement augmente´ce pool mais diminueć eux de la fraction organiqu...
