Abstract
Abstract BACKGROUND Low phosphorus (P) availability to wheat from commercial fertilizers is one of the reasons for lower grain yield and hence justifies search for more efficient P source under alkaline calcareous soils. RESULTS Phosphoric acid ( PA ) and diammonium phosphate ( DAP ), applied through conventional and modified methods, were assessed for P supply and wheat yield in a calcareous soil. Under laboratory conditions, pre‐incubated soil with 70 mg P kg −1 soil as PA and DAP was assessed for solution P ( C p ) for 4 weeks. Phosphorus sorption data were fitted using the Freundlich model for describing analyzed sorption in soil incubated with or without DAP and PA . The fitted model equations exhibited comparatively higher effluxes of P from the solution system in control treatment. Compared to DAP , lower quantities (19.6%) of P for PA ‐treated soil were required for producing optimum P concentration in soil solution, i.e. 0.2 mg P L −1 . The greenhouse study involved 32 P tracer technique to quantify the proportion of applied P derived by wheat from fertilizer or soil. The results showed that P derived from fertilizer was highest (47.5%) in PA placement, while the lowest (31.5%) was in DAP broadcast treatment. The field study also showed similar trends to that of the greenhouse study. The PA placement treatment resulted in highest (23.4%) phosphorus use efficiency, whereas the lowest one (17.1%) was recorded for DAP broadcast treatment. CONCLUSION PA proved to be a better P source than DAP for improving P content and achieving higher yield and recovery of applied P by wheat grown in alkaline calcareous soils. © 2016 Society of Chemical Industry
