Comparing the diffusive gradient in thin film (DGT) method with water and ammonium-acetate-lactate for P extraction and extractable P required for maximum cereal yield using long-term field experiments

Using more phosphorus fertilizer than needed generates unnecessary costs for farmers and can lead to eutrophication of surface waters. Up to now, most country-specific soil tests to determine P plant-availability use chemical extractions that often extract P from non-plant available pools and are no...

description Using more phosphorus fertilizer than needed generates unnecessary costs for farmers and can lead to eutrophication of surface waters. Up to now, most country-specific soil tests to determine P plant-availability use chemical extractions that often extract P from non-plant available pools and are not suitable for all soil types. The diffusive gradient in thin film (DGT) method was introduced as a mechanistic surrogate of plant-available phosphorus using water and diffusion in order to quantify P release. In this study, the DGT method was examined and compared with water and ammonium-acetate-lactate extraction. Water extractable P and P-DGT were highly correlated. In order to determine critical thresholds for maximum yields, soil samples from six sites from a long-term field experiment in Sweden and from one site in Switzerland, cultivated with cereals and fertilized with different P rates were used. Piecewise regression and the Mitscherlich model were used to fit extracted P data to relative yields and the piecewise regression provided better fits. Determination of DGT seemed to be superior over the two other P extraction methods to determine critical threshold values for maximum yield but all were useful.
