Soil characteristics involved in phosphorus sorption in mollisols
The role of different soil properties on defining the P sorption capacity was investigated in a group of Mollisols of the Pampean Region (Argentina). Twosingle point and three-multiple point P sorption indices were evaluated. Both simple and multiple regression models indicated that ammonium oxalate extractable Al (Alox) and ammonium oxalate extractable Fe (Feox) were the main properties defining P sorption. Ammonium oxalate extractable Al prevailed as the best predictor of short-term P sorption indices and Feox as the best predictor for those indices that involves longer interaction periods. After Alox and Feox, the best correlations were obtained for the sum of Ca and Mg. The higher P retention of soils located in the Southern part of the Region was associated with the parental material rather than with anthropogenic effects. Obtained information can strengthen P fertilization programs by providing a methodology to estimate fertilizer P requirements to optimize crop yields while reducing environmental risks.

Summary: | The role of different soil properties on defining the P sorption capacity was investigated in a group of Mollisols of the Pampean Region (Argentina). Twosingle point and three-multiple point P sorption indices were evaluated. Both simple and multiple regression models indicated that ammonium oxalate extractable Al (Alox) and ammonium oxalate extractable Fe (Feox) were the
main properties defining P sorption. Ammonium oxalate extractable Al prevailed as the best predictor of short-term P sorption indices and Feox as the best predictor for those indices that involves longer interaction periods.
After Alox and Feox, the best correlations were obtained for the sum of Ca and Mg. The higher P retention of soils located in the Southern part of the Region was associated with the parental material rather than with anthropogenic effects.
