Abstract:

Phosphorus (P) adsorption characteristics of 5 soil samples were studied in soils of Omidie, Southeastern Iran, during 2009/2010 cropping season. Some soil properties as well as selected P-adsoption characteristics were studied in these soils. In this study, results show Langmuir adsorption isotherm had better match with adsorbed P data and maximum R-square. Differences in P-adsorption were greatly influenced by soil organic carbon (SOC), soil pH, exchangeable calcium and exchangeable aluminium. Regression analysis showed that SOC and Alsat were the highest predictors of P-adsorption in soils of the study site. There is need for inclusion of more soil chemical, physical and mineralogical properties in predicting soil P-adsorption to enhance reliability of information.
