Abstract

THE solubility of and chemical changes undergone by phosphates added to calcareous soils still present many unsolved problems, in spite of extensive research in this field. The influence of large amounts of calcium carbonate in soils, as found widely under semi-arid conditions, on phosphate composition and its changes with time has been given little attention.
