Determination of P status ofHevea brasiliensis by bark analysis

Plant and Soil Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

The several methods to determine the P status ofHevea Brasiliensis on tropical soils are reviewed. The matter is very complicated, as several P compounds are found in soils,i.e. organic P, acid soluble P, exchangeable P, alkali-soluble P and inert P. It was found that P analyses of Hevea barks can better represent the amount of available P in the soil than soil analyses. Bark analyses are, moreover, less markedly influenced by date of sampling than leaf analyses. This characteristic feature of P in barks of Hevea may be ascribed to the outstanding property of energy-rich phosphorylated compounds as agents in increasing the synthesis of caoutchouc particles from the daily assimilates and the carbohydrate reserves.
