Abstract

Phosphorus sorption studies on four Malaysian soils were found to differ in their adsorption capacity in the following order; Guar > Munchong > Kangkong > Rengam. These curves can be used as a basis for fertilising soils. Soils with a high sorption capacity will need a larger amount of ferriliser to maintain a certain level of P in soil solution than soil with a low sorption capacity. In a pot experiment using water soluble triple super phosphate (TSP) and non-water soluble rock phosphate (RP) revealed that TSP is a superior form of phosphate for short season crops like soghum or crops like rubber and oil palm during the nursery stage
