Abstract


Most Indian soils are generally low in available phos- phorous, and respond well to phosphorus application. The nature of fixation and the consequent availability of applied phosphates require a detailed investigation so that we can use effectively the phosphatic fertilizers available for maximum food production. The main objective of the study is to examine in detail the nature and extent of phosphorus fixation in the major soil groups of the State, viz., alluvial, black, red and laterite soils.
