Abstract
Some uses of radioactive phosphorus in soil and fertilizer studies have been investigated. The necessary apparatus, the technique, and the accuracy of determining radioactive phosphorus in soils, solutions and plant ashes are described and discussed, and several examples of its application in agricultural problems are given. These include measurements of the rate of sorption of phosphorus by soils, fertilizer‐placement studies, and measurements of the movement of applied phosphorus through a soil.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
