A number of organic farms in Flanders were sampled to investigate the general phosphorus
(P) status and degree of P saturation (Psat) of the soils. Where possible, the soil P status …

Maintaining sufficient soil phosphorus (P) levels for non-limiting crop growth is challenging
in organic systems since off-farm inputs of P are restricted. This study assessed the status of …

Compliance with current phosphorus (P) fertilization recommendations would ultimately
result in a soil P status of agricultural land in the agronomical optimal range. In practice …

Phosphorus status of soils is regarded a component of soil fertility. This component can be
influenced by cropping measures. In 1983 a number of Swedish fields with a high P status …

The Netherlands has a high cumulative mean phosphorus (P) balance. In the 20th century,
cumulative mean P surpluses were ca. 4500 kg P2O5/ha. The annual surpluses have …

Soil test phosphorus (P) concentration has a major influence on the dissolved P
concentration in runoff from agricultural soils. Thus, trends in soil test P partly determine the …

Fertilising with phosphorus (P) ensures continuous supply of an essential growth factor as
necessary for productive and sustainable agriculture. The amounts of P required to attain …

Phosphorus (P) is a major nutrient for all living organisms and a key production factor in
agriculture. In crop production, it is usually supplied to soils through fertilisers or recycled …

Each European country is using its own method for the determination of phosphorus
availability to plants, together with an appropriate interpretation scheme of the P status and …

The aim of this work was to assess to which extent organic farming practices would affect the
accumulation of total and available phosphorus (P) in a cropped soil in comparison to …
