Phosphorus extractors in soil under no-tillage system with 19 years of swine manure applications

The objective of this study was to evaluate the availability of phosphorus (P) in a soil under no-tillage system after successive applications of liquid swine manure (LSM) doses in soil samples collected at different depths and to select the most appropriate chemical extractors. It was used soil with LSM applications for 19 years, using doses of 0, 25, 50, 75 and 100 m³ ha^-1 and mineral fertilization (350 kg ha^-1 in formulation 02-20-18), evaluated at the following depths: 0-10, 10-20 and 20-40 cm. The extractors used were Mehlich-1, Mehlich-3, Prem, Olsen, Bray-1 and Resin. Successive fertilizations with LSM, especially with 100 m³ ha^-1, increase the availability of P, especially in the 0-10 cm layer, as well adding P in the deeper layers evaluated (20-40 cm). The organic P content in relation to the total P ranged from 16 to 19 %. Bray-1, Olsen and Resin extractors are more efficient in extracting P in soil under no-tillage cultivation after successive fertilizations with liquid swine manure.
