Phosphorus availability in samples of Aquatibia (Typic xerofluvent) and Hoda (Ultic haploxeralf) soils incubated with increasing amounts of organic materials (barley straw, cowpea plant tops, dairy manure and sewage sludge) was estimated by different chemical methods and by measuring the activity of the enzymes acid phosphatase and phosphodiesterase, at the Department of Soils and Environmental Sciences of the University of California/Riverside, from January to November of 1985. In a greenhouse study, yield of dry matter and P uptake by corn […]
