Abstract:
The availability of phosphorus (P) in acid soils is comparatively less compared to other macro-nutrients. However to obtain high crop yields on acid soils high amount of P is required. Thus, it is vital to determine the influence of different kinds of organic amendments on phosphorus (P) availability in acid soils. The major objective of this study was to quantify the P availability in presence of different organic amendments with or without a microbial inoculant in an acidic Ultisol.
