“…The applied chemicals were selected as model compounds of phosphorus in soils bonded to Ca, AI, or Fe, that is, two calcium phosphates, CaHP0 4 ·2H z O, with a relatively higher, and Ca 3 (P0 4 )Z, with a lower solubility in water; aluminum and iron phosphates as amorphous forms (Nanzyo 1989), AIP0 4 and FeP0 4 • 2H z O; crystalline forms (Wada 1964), variscite and strengite; and phytates as the major organic P forms in soils (Daral 1977) bonded to Ca, AI, or Fe, respectively. When CaHP0 4 ·2H z O or Ca 3 (P0 4 )Z was applied, the amount of P recovered in the Ca-P i fraction with the Sekiya method was about 25% in the Tsukuba, 40% in the Naruko, and 80% in the Ishigaki soils, respectively (Fig.…”
