The determination of plant-available phosphorus (P) in soil is important to crop yield and environmental protection. The Increasingly used Mehlich 3 (M3) method does not always reliably reflect the actual amount of P available to plants. The aim of this study was to evaluate how well the phosphorus content determined by the Mehlich 3 method represents plant-available P, and how it is influenced by soil, pH, total carbon content and texture. Twenty agricultural soil samples from Estonia were analyzed using four successive M3 extractions. The contents of P, K, Ca and Mg were determined and the data were statistically analyzed. Results showed that the first extraction accounted for only 24-65% of the total extracted P. The M3 results were significantly affected by soil properties, especially Ca and total carbon content with a weaker correlation with pH. The results indicate that the P content determined by the M3 method is not proportional to the total amount of plant-available P in the soil. Therefore, it is necessary to identify an additional parameter for determining the total plant-available phosphorus content in soil. The findings of this study can be used to improve the accuracy of fertilization recommendations and to plan further research.
Taimedele omastatava fosfori (P) määramine mullast on oluline saagikuse ja keskkonnahoiu seisukohalt. Üha enam kasutatav M3 meetod ei pruugi alati usaldusväärselt peegeldada taimedele omastatava P tegelikku sisaldust. Käesoleva töö eesmärk oli uurida, kuivõrd kajastab Mehlich 3 meetodil määratud P sisaldus tegelikult taimedele kättesaadavat P ning kuidas mõjutavad seda mulla pH, üldsüsiniku sisaldus ja lõimis. Analüüsiti 20 Eesti põllumuldade proove, millele teostati neli järjestikust M3 ekstraktsiooni. Määrati P, K, Ca ja Mg sisaldused ning andmeid analüüsiti statistiliselt. Selgus, et esimese ekstraktsiooniga määratud P moodustas vaid 24-65% kogu ekstraheeritud P-st. M3 tulemused olid oluliselt mõjutatud mulla omadustest, eriti Ca ja üldsüsiniku sisaldusest, nõrgem oli seos pH-ga. Tulemused näitavad, et M3 meetodil määratud P sisaldus ei ole proportsionaalne kogu taimedele omastatava P sisaldusega mullas ning seetõttu on vajalik lisaparameetri leidmine mulla kogu taimedele omastatava P sisalduse määramiseks. Uuringu tulemusi saab kasutada täpsemaks väetamissoovituste koostamiseks ja jätku-uuringute planeerimisel.
