    Notes: We wished to determine whether soil-test P was affected by storing air-dry soil samples at room temperature. The soil samples had been collected from field experiments and air-dried (〈40°C) before measuring soil-test P (bicarbonate-extractable P). The samples were from field plots that had been treated with different applications of fertilizer P (superphosphate, rock phosphate) one or more years previously. Soil-test P was measured on two different sub samples of the same sample: either A, in the year the sample was collected; or B, after the sample had been stored at fluctuating room temperatures either from 2 to 8 years (four field experiments) or 17 years (59 field experiments). The room temperature ranged from 10 to 30°C, and averaged 17°C. The aim was to test whether soil-test P was systematically and consistently different between sub samples A and B.Differences between A and B were mostly small, and there were no consistent or systematic differences. For the Colwell soil test, applied to a range of south-western Australian soils, possible decreases in soil-test P due to continued reaction with the soil could not be detected using bicarbonate-extractable soil P, and storage of air-dry samples at room temperature did not significantly affect soil-test P measured up to 17 years later. We conclude that, provided fertilizer P has had time to react with soil in the field, no further changes in Colwell soil-test P occur during air-dry storage for up to 17 years at room temperature.

    Notes: Abstract Laboratory studies have shown that up to 70% reactive rock phosphate dissolves in three soil types found in the high rainfall (〉 800 mm annual average) area of south-western Australia. Three field experiments were undertaken on these soils to compare reactive apatite rock phosphate from North Carolina (NCRP) with single superphosphate (SSP) as fertilizers for subterranean clover (Trifolium subterraneum) pasture. Vertical leaching of phosphorus (P) occurs in one soil, a deep, very sandy, acid peaty sand. Lateral leaching of P occurs in the second soil, a shallow (3 cm) sand over a slowly permeable sandy clay loam. No leaching of P occurs in the third soil, a uniform, permeable red sandy loam with a moderate capacity to sorb P. All the soils remained moist to very wet for the 6 to 8 month growing season. Fertilizers were applied once only to different plots over a four-year period (1992 to 1995). Each year fertilizer effectiveness was determined relative to the effectiveness of freshly-applied (current) SSP using yield and P content of dried clover herbage and bicarbonate-soluble P extracted from the soil (soil test P) as indices of effectiveness. For the two P leaching soils, NCRP was less, equally, or more effective than current SSP in different years. This variation is attributed to the different extents of leaching of P from current SSP in different years which experienced different amounts of rainfall and associated leaching. For the non-P leaching soil, the effectiveness of current NCRP and the residual effectiveness of NCRP were from 5 to 80% the values for current SSP. When measured using soil test P, current NCRP and residual NCRP varied from 40% as effective, to equally or 30% more effective as current SSP at one site, but were about 20% as effective at the other two sites. For the two P leaching soils in some years, the residual value of RP was higher than that of current SSP, presumably due to the rapid leaching of water-soluble P from the SSP. As measured using yield, P content and soil test P, the relative effectiveness of SSP consistently decreased with increasing time from application; the decreases were much less obvious for NCRP.

    Notes: Abstract Phosphorus (P) is a major deficiency of soils of south-western Australia (WA). The fertilizer P requirements are not known for grain legumes being evaluated for neutral to alkaline, fine textured soils in WA. To rectify this, glasshouse and field experiments were undertaken to compare the responses of several grain legume species, wheat and canola to applications of single superphosphate and the results are reported in this paper. The glasshouse experiments measured responses of dried tops, harvested at 26 to 42 days after sowing, to P that was freshly-applied (current P) and previously-applied (previous P). Responses in the glasshouse were measured using yield, P concentration and P content (P concentration multiplied by yield) of oven dried tops of the following: wheat (Triticum aestivum), canola (Brassica napus), faba bean (Vicia faba), chickpea (Cicer arietinum), lentil (Lens culinaris), field pea (Pisum sativum), albus lupin (Lupinus albus) and narrow leaf lupin (Lupinus angustifolius). Field experiments in 1994 and 1995 compared seed (grain) yield responses of faba bean, chickpea, lentil, albus lupin and wheat to applications of current P. The P was banded (drilled) with the seed while sowing at 5 cm depth. Canola and wheat produced very large yield responses to increasing applications of current P. Responses were much smaller for albus lupin, faba bean and chickpea. Responses for lentil, narrow leaf lupin and field pea, fell in between responses of the small and large seeded species. Similar trends for responses were obtained as measured using yield, P concentration, or P content. For soils treated with previous P, similar trends were observed as for current P, but differences in yield responses between species were much less marked and the response curves tended to become more sigmoid. In the field experiments, grain yield responses to current P of albus lupin and chickpea were less than that for wheat. Relative to wheat, faba bean was the most responsive grain legume to applications of current P, with lentil producing similar responses to wheat in one experiment at a newly cleared, P deficient site.

    Notes: Abstract Granite (silicate) rock dust, a by-product of quarry operations, is being advocated and used as a fertilizer in the wheatbelt of south-western Australia (WA). The dust is insoluble and based on its nutrient element content (1.9% K and 0.3%P and negligible N) it is not expected to be a useful fertilizer. Previous laboratory studies and glasshouse experiments in WA suggest the dust is a slow release K fertilizer. This paper extends the previous studies to consider the dust as an NP or K fertilizer in the year of application in a field experiment on a soil deficient in N, P and K. In addition, the effectiveness of the dust as a K fertilizer was compared with the effectiveness of KCl (muriate of potash), the K fertilizer used in WA at present, in glasshouse experiments using K deficient soils. In the field experiment, compared with NP fertilizer or NPK fertilizer (urea, supplying N; superphosphate, providing P, S, Ca, Cu, Zn and Mo; KCl providing K), the dust had no effect on grain yield of wheat (Triticum aestivum); in fact dust applied at 20 t ha-1, for unknown reasons, reduced yields by about 65% compared to the nil (no fertilizer, no dust) treatment. Relative to the nil treatment, applying NPK fertilizer increased yields about threefold, from 0.54 to 1.79 t ha. The glasshouse experiments showed that, relative to KCl, the dust was from about 0.02 to 14% as effective in K deficient grey sandy soils for producing dried tops of 30-day old wheat plants or 42-day old clover (Trifolium subterraneum) plants. In soils with adequate K (yellow sands, sandy loams or clays, loamy clays, clay loams and clays), neither KCl nor the dust affected yields of 30 to 42-day old wheat or clover plants grown in the glasshouse. In the glasshouse experiments, no yield depressions were measured for the dust applied up to 17 g dust per kg soil (equivalent to 17 t dust ha-1 mixed into the top 10 cm of soil in the field). It is concluded that the dust has no value as a fertilizer.

    Notes: Abstract Phosphorus (P) is known to leach laterally in water flowing during winter over pasture growing on flat soils that are shallow sands over slowly permeable lateritic ironstone gravel or clay soils in the high rainfall (〉 800 mm annual average) areas of south-western Australia. The climate is Mediterranean, with hot dry December to March and cool wet April to November growing season, with excess water flowing over the surface from June to early-August. Fertilizer P is presently applied at about mid-March, near the start of the growing season. Single superphosphate has been applied for many years, which has a good residual value, and so the soils are no longer acutely P deficient. Consequently, a better method may be to apply the fertilizer at mid-August, after waterlogging and P leaching have usually receded, and radiation and temperature are rising, so pasture growth is increasing. The field experiment reported here was on a shallow sand over lateritic ironstone gravel where lateral leaching of P occurs. The experiment compared from 1990 to 1994 the effectiveness of single superphosphate (SSP), the fertilizer used at present, and ‘coastal’ superphosphate (CSP), a partially acidulated rock phosphate containing about half the total P and one third the water-soluble P initially present in SSP. The fertilizers were applied annually either at mid-March or at mid-August. SSP applied at mid-March was the most effective treatment studied in the years when pasture plants had emerged before fertilizer was applied at mid-March. This is attributed to pasture plants being able to take up P from SSP applied at mid-March before leaching of P occurred, so that relative to SSP applied at mid-March, the other P fertilizer treatments (CSP applied at mid-march and mid-August, SSP applied at mid-August) were about equally or less effective. However, in years when the growing season had yet to start before fertilizer was applied at mid-March, then relative to SSP applied at mid-March, the other fertilizer treatments were equally or more effective. This is attributed to extensive leaching of P from SSP applied at mid-March, so that due to P losses from SSP applied at mid-March, the other treatments were equally or more effective. It is therefore concluded that profitable pasture production with reduced leaching is achieved by applying SSP at mid-March if soils are moist and pasture plants are growing at that time. However, if the soils are dry and no pasture plants are growing at mid-March, then CSP should be applied at mid-August.

    Notes: Abstract Decreases in Colwell bicarbonate soil test P in the years after applying single (ordinary) superphosphate, and the residual value of superphosphate, was measured in a long-term field experiment on a duplex (texture contrast) soil (sand over lateritic ironstone gravel clay sand at 10–15 cm), at Wongan Hills, Western Australia, typical of many soils used to grow crops in Western Australia. Ten levels of P (0–91 kg P ha-1) were applied once only in late May to different plots in different years from 1988 to 1993. Wheat (Triticum aestivum), or lupin ( Lupinus angustifolius)) were sown in late May of each year, when the P treatments applied that year were banded (drilled) with the seed. Soil samples were collected each June to measure soil test P. Seed (grain) yields of the crops were measured each December. The residual value (RV) of P applied in previous years was calculated relative to P applied in the current year, using grain yields (RVyield) and soil test P (RVsoil). Soil test P measured on soil samples collected in June was related to yields measured in December that year to provide soil P test calibrations. Relative to P applied in the current year, soil test P decreased by between 15 to 30% for P applied one year previously, by 25 to 30% for P applied three years previously, and by 60 to 70% for P applied six years previously. Soil test P was affected by spatial variation, and it also varied in the different years, for P applied in the current year, one year previously, two years previously, etc. Compared with P applied in the current year, mean RVyield determined in the different years decreased by about 40% one year after P application, followed by a further 20% decrease for P applied two years previously, followed by a further 20% decrease for P applied three to five years previously. Relative to current P, RVsoil decreased by about 25% one year after P application, followed by a further 20% for P applied two years previously, followed by a further 10% for P applied three years ago, and followed by a further 6% for P applied four and five years ago. As measured in the different years, the soil P test calibration varied between years for P applied one, two etc. years previously. This was so even when the same cultivar of wheat was grown at the same site in different years.
