Phosphorus Sorption by Some Hydromorphic Soils of Southern Nigeria

Aghimien A.E.^*, Ilori E.G., Ehigiator J.O.

A laboratory experiment was conducted on fifty-eight (58) surface soils from five different soil parent materials in Southern Nigeria. Samples were equilibrated with different P concentrations ranging from 0 - 150 mg/L prior to evaluation sorption potentials. The Phosphorus Sorption Index (PSI) of the soils ranged from 4.80 to 64.90. The PSI values...
