| Research Abstract |
Phosphorus (P) fertility of Andisols was evaluated with reference to colloidal composition of soils. P sorption capacity was strongly correlated to active aluminum (allophane and Al-humus complex). Nonallophanic Andisols with major active aluminum of Al-humus complex showed a higher P sorption capacity per active aluminum than allophanic Andisols with major active aluminum of allophane. Soil available P content decreased with increasing of P sorption capacity of soil.
Total soluble inorganic P reserved in soil was extracted by EDTA-NaF solution. Plant absorbed greater amounts of P from allophanic Andisol than nonallophanic Andisol with equal level of total soluble P and available P (Truog and Bray methods). Nonallophanic Andisol needed more available P for good plant growth with compared to allophanic Andisol. Allophanic Andisol showed higher value of Truog-P and anion exchange resin extractable P than nonallophanic Andisol with equal amount of total soluble P.However, nonallophanic Andisol showed higher value of Bray-P and acetic acid extractable P than allophanic Andisol with equal amount of total soluble P.It was concluded that the accurate evaluation of P availability of Andisols must be conducted by extraction methods in consideration for soil colloidal composition.
Plant available P decreased in nonallophanic Andisol with low pH less than 5.3.Soil available P contents did not change within the pH range of 4.5 to 7.0. In low pH,the inhibition of root elongation by Al injury caused the reduction in P absorption of plant.
