| ABSTRACT Increasingly rational use of phosphate fertilizers by agriculture is important, especially in Brazil, due to its importance for global food security and its high dependence on phosphate fertilizers for crop production. Thus, correlation and calibration researches with soil available phosphorus (P) extractants to improve the recommendation and the use of P are extremely important. Our objectives were (i) to determine soil P recovery rates and critical levels by the extractants Mehlich-1 (M1), Mehlich-3 (M3), and Ion Exchange Resin (RTI); (ii) to adjust predictive models of P recovery rates and critical levels for each extractant, as a function of soil properties related to the soil P buffer capacity, and (iii) to adjust the an interpretation table... |
