Abstract

San sai soil series which textural class ranges from sandy loam to sandy clay loam, was formaly both limed and fertilized. Clay phosphates and ferric-aluminium phosphates were proved to be the principal sources of phosphates supplied to plant. Calcium phosphates were not a source of phosphates to plant. The result of this experiment also implied that the formation constant of ferric-aluminium phosphates might be greater than that of clay phosphates. The moisture levels have no significant effect on the transformation among phosphate forms but the time does.
