Effect of Alternative Furrow Irrigation on Soil Phosphorus and Its Forms
Abstract:In order to investigate the effect of alternative furrow irrigation (AFI) on soil phosphorus (P) and its forms, changes of total P, Olsen--P, organic P and inorganic P forms under conventional furrow irrigation (CFI) and AFI treatments were studied. Compared with CFI, AFI decreased the soil total P con- centration at ridge. Olsen--P decreased by 14.7%,23.1% under AFI treatment at ridge and furrow, re- spectively. AFI decreased the moderately labile organic P and Ca8--P at ridge and furrow. There also were significant decreases in O-P,Al-P at ridge under AFI treatment. AFI make a great contribution to accelerated activation and release of accumulative phosphorus in soils.
