Summary:Isarog has distinctly high total P. Total P of this soil is largely made up of organic P particularly in the surface layer wherein total P exceeds 2000 mg/kg and organic P is more than 1300 mg/kg. Total P and inorganic P generally increased while inorganic P decreased as the level of applied P varied from zero to very high. The magnitude of amounts of the inorganic P fractions in both the control and P fertilized plots of Isarog showed the general order: Al-PFe-PRSPCa-P Occ P for Blocks T, R and Q in Panicuason. Block F in Palestina also exhibited the predominance of Al-P but reductant-soluble P gave consistently higher values than Fe-P; likewise, occluded P consistently exceeded Ca-P. In contrast to Isarog soil, total P in Castilla is so low that it is generally exceeded by the inorganic P in Isarog soil. Total P and the major P fractions increased with increasing level of applied P, but decreased with soil depth. The order of dominance of each of the inorganic P fractions in Castilla under various levels of applied P is as follows: RSPOccPFe-PCa-P.
