Abstract
Having sufficient and accurate information about soil mineral phosphorus is very important for the development of sustainable agriculture in arid regions. Awareness of phosphorus deformation in different soils is also very important to recommend phosphorus fertilizer. The aim of this study was to find the effects of long-term use of different sources of phosphorus on phosphorus that can be used for pistachio plants. Jiang and Gu method was used to isolate and determine the mineral forms of phosphorus in the soil. This method separates phosphorus in the forms of di calcium phosphate, octa calcium phosphate, aluminum phosphates, iron phosphates, occluded phosphates and apatite. Results showed that the total P was high in these soil samples and the abundance of P fractions was in order to Ca10-P type≥ Al-P >Ca2-P type> Occluded P ≥ Fe-P > Ca8-P type in two depths. These results suggested that continuous P application leads to plant available P convert into unavailable P forms such as Ca10-P. High amounts of total P clarifies that by optimally managing the use of phosphorus fertilizers and soil conditions, the required P of the plant can be provided without additional use.
