Study of Release Pattern of Phosphorus in Soils: Incubated with Organic Acids and Different Origin of Rock Phosphate

Abstract

In this study the hypotheses assumed was assessed through incubation study in lab. Soil samples were pre incubated at 25 °C for 1 week prior to actual incubation to stabilize the microbial activity. Moisture content of soil was adjusted to 60 % of water holding capacity by adding deionized water. There were three Rock Phosphates of origin Jhabua, Udaipur-I, Udaipur-II and eleven treatments including the control and soils were analysed at six incubation periods (15, 30, 45, 60, 90 and 120 days); with three replications to see the effectiveness of different RPs treated with organic acids and zeolite with phosphate solubilizing bacteria (PSB) viz., Pseudomonas fluorescence. The incubation experiment showed a positive impact of the organic acids and FYM with increasing days of incubation gaining highest peak at 60 days in their ability to release P from all the RP sources. Data from 45 to 60 Days After Incubation (DAI) were found most suitable for P availability point of view. URP II showed maximum available P with gluconic acid@20 mM (13.28 kg ha-1) with an increase of 39% followed by FYM @5 tonne ha-1 with available P (13.10 kg ha-1) and increase of 50.97% over control. JRP responded maximum with FYM @ 5 tonne ha-1(9.05 kg ha-1) available P with an increase of 36.35% followed by oxalic acid. The URP I maintained highest available P with oxalic acid@0.5 M (10.59 kg ha-1) with an increase of 44.51% followed by FYM @5 tonne ha-1.

Nutrient Release Characteristic of Multinutrient Pellet for Organic Farming in Rice (Oryza sativa L) for Acid Sulphate Soils

“…In a similar study of Mahawar [54] it was observed that with the application rock phosphate the quantity of P available in soil was high for more than 60 days. The studies of SanthoshKumar [55] and Jalali and Ranjbar [56] also put forward similar results regarding rockphosphate.…”

Study on phosphorus release from medium- and low-grade phosphate ore powders by mechanical activation and low molecular weight organic acid activation

“…With increasing cultivation time, H + in organic acid was fully released, and the more phosphate in phosphate ore powder was in contact with H + , the greater its solubility (Mahawar et al, 2022). At the same time, there may be an exchange of organic anions in the active mineral with phosphate particles in the phosphate ore powder to achieve phosphorus release (Na, 2020), making the P2O5 content in the phosphate ore powder gradually increase within 6 days of activation cultivation.…”
