The effect of fertilizer application and different crop sequences on the utilization, accumulation, and depletion of Olsen extractable P and other fractions of P in the soil after 10 cycles of cropping are reported. The apparent recovery of P declined in the sequence rice-wheat, rice-berseem, cotton-wheat, maize-wheat, groundnut-wheat, and pearl millet - berseem. Application of P increased Olsen extractable P in the soil profile under all the crop sequences. The increase was less under rice-based sequences. The differences in Olsen extractable P in the control (no NPK) and fertilizer treated plots were larger up to upper 45, and beyond that the differences were small and decreased with depth. The P uptake by crops was significantly related to Olsen extractable P in the 0-15 cm soil depth.
