Summary: | ³²P labelled fertilizers were used to measure native soil and fresh fertilizer phosphorus uptake by Lolium perenne L. in greenhouse experiments. The P source evaluation was carried out for multiple rates of application for a standard P fertilizer (DAP) on low and medium soil P levels and for North Carolina rock phosphate (RP) at the medium soil P level only. At the low soil P level, the native P uptake increase was independent of P-DAP applied, and represented 19% of the nil P uptake. At the medium soil P level, the variability of the native soil as a nutrient P source depended on the phosphate fertilizer applied, and the rate of application. Consequently the amount of total P uptake could conceal differences in P fertilizer evaluations as the nutrient P source. Fresh P uptake increased linearly with the rates of P applied as standard or tested P fertilizer. The comparison of various P sources by means of fresh P uptake ratio (i.e. fresh P uptake from tested phosphate divided by fresh P uptake from standard phosphate) was independent of the rate of application. It was therefore suggested that various phosphorus sources be evaluated by measuring the fresh P uptake for a single rate of application. |
