『Abstract
The objective of this study as to determine how common soil P
extractants compared when assessed on revegetated bauxite residue.
Samples from contrasting residue preparation, amended with gypsum
and/or organic matter, were analyzed for phosphorus using CaCl2, Morgans, Olsen and Colwell extractants. Herbage
samples were also taken from the residue and phosphorus content
and biomass determined. Phosphorus adsorption in the different
treatments was also assessed.
Amounts determined by CaCl2 were below limits
of detection and Morgans extractant overestimated amounts of plant
available P. P levels determined by Olsen extractant were within
the deficiency range. Colwell P, although overestimated plant
available P, did correlate with vegetation performance (biomass
production) and amount of P added to the substrate. Plant indices
(P-content and biomass) were correlated with organic and Ca content
of the substrate.
Fine particle size of the substrate resulted in increased rate
of P adsorption and Ca-content further increased the rate. However,
overall Ca content of the residue improved P-uptake and nutrition.
