• The relationship between carboxylate release and the ability of plants to access phosphorus from AlPO₄ and to detoxify aluminium was studied by comparing species with a low and high rate of carboxylate release, Triticum aestivum (wheat) and Lupinus albus (white lupin), respectively. • Species were supplied with P at 10, 20, 40 or 100 mg P kg⁻¹ sand in the form of sparingly soluble AlPO₄ or soluble KH₂PO₄; control plants did not receive any P. • Triticum aestivum was significantly better than L. albus at accessing P from AlPO₄, despite accumulating fewer carboxylates in its rhizosphere. Rhizosphere pH of L. albus did not vary with form or level of P supply, while the rhizosphere pH of T. aestivum increased with the level of P supplied. • Based on the evidence in the present study, a model is proposed to explain the poor performance of L. albus, whereby the release of carboxylates and associated protons reduces the chelating ability of exuded carboxylates, thus reducing P acquisition and increasing Al toxicity.
