Notes:
Estimation of the phosphate adsorption capacity in highly weathered acid soils is crucial for adopting appropriate phosphate fertilization practices. In this work, the salt sorption effect was used to develop a method for estimating phosphate adsorption capacity from the decrease in electrical conductivity of a potassium dihydrogen phosphate solution brought in contact with acidic soil samples from surface and subsurface horizons of Acrisols. The method is fast and simple and requires only the use of a conductimeter.
