| Abstract |
Three methods for extracting available phosphorous in some Egyptian soils, has been compared with Fe-strip method which proposed by Tzy-Huei Lin et al. (1991). Moreover, to provide a base of comparison, a biological treatment was also established.
The results showed that the highest total-P value was recorded for clay soils (1521.65 mg kg-1), followed by sandy soil (598.4 mg kg-1) and calcareous soils (535.55 mg kg-1). The statistical analysis revealed that clay content was positively correlated (r= 0.696**) while calcium carbonate content was negatively correlated (r = -0.601*) with the total-P.
The data showed that the extracted P percent (from its total) by the tested extractants may be ranked as follows; Soltanpour and Schwab (1977) (5.56%) > Fe-strip (1.3%). While Bray1 and Kurtz (1943) and Olsen and Sommers (1982) methods released minor portion of P. the high P portion extracted by Soltanpour and Schwab may be due to 1) a particular affinity between DTPA and P, 2) this extractant may released various pools of P beside the available portion into solution and 3) the effect of high ionic strength (1M) of NH4HCO3.
The data also showed that the percent of P released from calcareous soils > sandy soils > clay soils. This may be attributed to the employed methods that may destroy a number of P-minerals in calcareous soils, consequently the recovery % of P increased. While the minor percent of P released from clay soil may be attributed to its highly adsorptive power in that soil. The statistical results showed that Fe-strip was significantly correlated with the widely used soil extractants (r= 0.451*).
The results of biological evaluation of the tested methods indicated that only Fe-strip (M4) and Olsen and Sommer method (M3) were significantly correlated with the amount of P-uptake by plants. The regression equations for this relation were:
Y = 12.59 + 0.94 X R2 = 19.9
Y = 15.30 + 4.86 X R2 = 19.6, respectively.
These results concluded that Fe-strip method was satisfactory and gave reliable information about available P for plant
