Abstract

SUMMARY Phosphorus requirement was evaluated by the sorption isotherm technique by means of laboratory and greenhouse experiments which were carried out at the Department of Soils and Environmental Sciences of the University of California, Riverside (CA), USA, from January to November of 1985.
