The Influence of Soil Moisture Regime and Phosphorus Source on the Response of Alfalfa to Phosphorus
1962
Beaton, J. D. | Gough, Neville A.
The influence of soil moisture regimes and P sources on the response of alfalfa to P was studied in the growth chamber. Surface samples of two calcareous British Columbia soils, Machete stony sandy loam and the Nisconlith clay loam were used. Alfalfa yield and P uptake were highest when soil moisture tension was allowed to reach a maximum of 2.0 bars and subsequently reduced to 0.2 bars. The P sources were almost equally available with this regime. Calcium metaphosphate and anhydrous dicalcium phosphate produced the highest yields. P content of alfalfa was highest with monoammonium phosphate on the Machete soil. Monocalcium phosphate resulted in the highest tissue P with the Nisconlith soil. Amount of P removed from the soil, with the exception of hydroxyapatitc, was not markedly influenced by P source. Hydroxyapatitetreated soil released the lowest amount of NaHCO₃-extractable P.
