摘要：AbstractBackgroundThough soils in the study areas are characterized by higher iron and aluminum oxides, and low available P contents, study on P adsorption characteristics is limited. The purpose of this experiment was to evaluate adsorption properties of selected soils and determine the standard phosphorous requirements of the soils. In this experiment, separately weighed 2 g soil samples were equilibrated in 50 ml of 0.01 M CaCl2solution containing KH2PO4at rates of 0, 1, 2.0, 4.0, 8.0, 16.0, 24.0, and 32.0 mg P L−1.ResultsThe Freundlich model was found to be the best model for the description of the P adsorption characteristics of the soils. The Freundlich coefficient Kfranged from 123.32 to 315.31 mg P kg−1. The Goha-1 soil had the highest Kf(315.31 mg P kg−1) as Ketasire had lowest Kf(123.32 mg P kg−1) values. The value of SPRfwas ranged from 50.50 to 154.02 mg P kg−1for soils of the study area. Highly significant (P ≤ 0.01) correlation was observed between the Freundlich adsorption parameters and soil physicochemical properties.ConclusionThe standard P requirement of the studied soils was higher than the blanket P fertilizer rate recommendations in Ethiopia. Lack of inadequate knowledge about internal and external P requirement of each crop might have decreased yield in the study areas as it could have resulted in under-application of fertilizer P. The presence of high correlation between the adsorption parameters and the soil properties suggested the indices’ prominent role in explaining P adsorption characteristics of the soils. Since higher dose of P is required by soils in the study area because of fixation, alternative P management strategies is needed to reduce P adsorption and enhance P availability.
