Wheat, canola and grain legume access to soil phosphorus fractions differs in soils with contrasting phosphorus dynamics
TLDR
It is hypothesized that insoluble P fractions may be more available to non-legume plants in alkaline soils due to increased dissolution of the dominant calcium(Ca)-P pool into depleted labile P pools, whereasnon-legumes may have limited access to insolubleP fractions in iron(Fe)- and aluminium(Al)-P dominated acid soils.Abstract:
Despite the high phosphorus (P) mobilizing capacity of many legumes, recent studies have found that, at least in calcareous soils, wheat is also able to access insoluble P fractions through yet unknown mechanism(s). We hypothesized that insoluble P fractions may be more available to non-legume plants in alkaline soils due to increased dissolution of the dominant calcium(Ca)-P pool into depleted labile P pools, whereas non-legumes may have limited access to insoluble P fractions in iron(Fe)- and aluminium(Al)-P dominated acid soils. Four crop species (faba bean, chickpea, wheat and canola) were grown on two acid and one alkaline soil under glasshouse conditions to examine rhizosphere processes and soil P fractions accessed. While all species generally depleted the H2O-soluble inorganic P (water Pi) pool in all soils, there was no net depletion of the labile NaHCO3-extractable inorganic P fraction (NaHCO3 Pi) by any species in any soil. The NaOH-extractable P fraction (NaOH Pi) in the alkaline soil was the only non-labile Pi fraction depleted by all crops (particularly canola), possibly due to increases in rhizosphere pH. Chickpea mobilized the insoluble HCl Pi and residual P fractions; however, rhizosphere pH and carboxylate exudation could not fully explain all of the observed Pi depletion in each soil. All organic P fractions appeared highly recalcitrant, with the exception of some depletion of the NaHCO3 Po fraction by faba bean in the acid soils. Chickpea and faba bean did not show a higher capacity than wheat or canola to mobilize insoluble P pools across all soil types, and the availability of various P fractions to legume and non-legume crops differed in soils with contrasting P dynamics.read more

TL;DR: In this paper, the causal edaphic, plant and microbial factors in the context of soil P management, P cycling and productivity goals of farms are explored, including better targeted P-fertiliser use, organic amendments, removing other constraints to yield, zone management, use of plants with low critical-P requirements, and modified farming systems.

TL;DR: The hypothesis of an increase in inorganic P availability in intercropping as a consequence ofRoot-induced acidification by the legume was not validated, and it was suggested that root-induced alkalization was involved instead, as well as other root- induced processes.

TL;DR: The results suggest distinct bacterial network structure and distribution patterns among bulk soil, loosely bound soil and tightly bound rhizospheric soil, which could possibly result in potential functional differentiation.

Crop residue contributions to phosphorus pools in agricultural soils: A review
TL;DR: The authors evaluated the contribution of crop residue-derived P to the P nutrition of subsequent crops, assessed the key factors involved and summarised the knowledge as an empirical model, concluding that the contribution from crop residues to P availability is likely to be significant only under conditions where large amounts of crop residues of relatively high P concentration are applied to soil.
