Phosphate Retention By Muck Soils

Abstract

A refined procedure for the determination of phosphorus retention by an organic soil by means of frontal-analysis chromatography has been used with success. The following conclusions were drawn from the investigations: 1. Frontal-analysis chromatography can be used for the determination of phosphate fixation in soils. 2. Calcium has a role in phosphate fixation in organic as well as in mineral soils.
