Organic matter can reduce P adsorption/precipitation (PA/P) by: release of organic acids which compete for phosphate adsorption sites; trough the formation of P- compounds in the soil solution; and by building complexes with Fe and Al and thus decreasing PA/P. The aim of this study was to evaluate the PA/P in Oxisols, by addition of organic acids: citric (CA), oxalic (OA), salicylic (SA), and humic acids (HA). An amount of 2.5 cm3 samples of a clayey Red Latosol (Rodic Hapluxtox) and […]
