Crop production is highly impacted by soil phosphorus (P) availability which is poor and susceptibly affected by soil moisture. However, how water management and straw incorporation affect paddy soil P availability is still not well known. A 40-day incubation experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of two water management regimes: continuous flooding irrigation (CF) and alternate wetting and drying irrigation (AWD) combined with different straw addition rates (equivalent to 0, 50%, 100%, 200%, and 300% straw incorporation rates in field) on P availability in paddy soil. Water management significantly affected soil available P, microbial biomass P, total reductant, and ferrous iron. However, straw addition showed no effect on soil P availability in the short term. Compared to CF, AWD consistently decreased the soil available P content under straw addition at different rates. The main reason was that AWD increased microbial biomass for immobilizing P and decreased ferrous iron content for increasing soil P absorption, reducing available P content. In conclusion, AWD reduces available P content in paddy soil compared to CF. Water management has a more significant regulatory effect on soil P availability than straw incorporation in the field management.
