    Abstract:

    Nitrogen (N) and potassium (K) fertilizers are often applied together with phosphorus (P) fertilizer in farming, which may possibly affect chemical behavior of P in the soil. Effects of NH4Cl and KCl on movement and transformation of P from monocalcium phosphate (MCP) in fertilizer microsites in red soil were studied through an incubation experiment using soil columns.The coapplication of NH4Cl or KCl with MCP did not affect much the distance of P movement but did P transformation from MCP in fertilizer microsites. Compared with the application of MCP alone, the addition of N or K significantly decreased soil pH in fertilizer microsites. Determination on D7 and D28 revealed that the addition of NH4Cl did no have any significant effect on concentration of water-extractable P in the soil close to fertilizer placement, while the addition of KCl decreased the concentration significantly on D7, but increased it on D28. The concentrations of acid-extractable P and available P were significantly increased by the addition of NH4Cl or KCl on both D7 and D28. The findings indicated that the movement of P from MCP into the red soil was significantly enhanced by the addition of NH4Cl or KCl.
