Book excerpt: Excerpt from Estimation of Available Phosphorus in Soils by Extraction With Sodium Bicarbonate The level of phosphorus soluble In N ahcos at which most of the soils respond to applied phosphate, is lower for the field than for the greenhouse experiments (fig. Based on field experiments, using a 1: 20 soil to-solution ratio, the relationship between expected yield response to applied phosphate and the level of N ahcog-soluble phosphorus Is as follows: Below 25 pounds P205 per acre, a response, 25 to 50 pounds, a probable response; above 50 pounds, a response unlikely. These values were obtained from experiments using Wheat, oats, and alfalfa. The values may be expected to apply also for crops with similar phosphorus requirements, but the values may need to be lower for corn and higher for potatoes.
