One of the many ways to bring about the liberation of fixed phosphate
is plowing under sweet clover to add organic matter to the soil.
Without phosphorus all life
would cease, much as a flame
dies when there is no air to
support it. This vitally impor-
tant element, so essential for
plant and animal growth and
reproduction, is one of the least
abundant elements in most soil*.
Seeds, meat, eggs, plant
tissues oacteria, fungi, animal
cells, and everything else that
originates from life contain
phosphorus. The ultimate source
of this phosphorus is the soil.
The production of plentiful crops
of high nutritive value frequent-
ly depends upon the addition of
phosphate fertilizers to the soil.
These additions to the soil,
however, usually have only a
very temporary beneficial effect
because the action of certain
soil components changes the
phosphate into forms not readi-
ly available to plants, accord-
ing to Dr. Sieling of Massachu-
setts in CROPS AND SOILS.
Some experiments have shown
that only 6-10 per cent of the
phosphate added to acid soils
reaches the crop for which it
was intended. This is due to a
process called phosphate fixation.
To obtain a high production
level of high quality crops, the
fixed phosphate must be released
in a constant and increased
amount. Research has estab-
lished that organic matter is an
important substance in prevent-
ing fixation and in releasing the
phosphate, already fixed.
effective Monday.
As soils in the humid region
become more and more acid
because of cropping and natural
weathering processes, the iron
and aluminum compounds be-
come chemical traps. These
catch any phosphate that hap-
pens to be wandering about in
the soil solution.
The more acid a soil becomes,
the more traps become set for
catching and holding the phos-
phate until it is released by
another process.
Practical farmers havp long
observed that loss of organic
matter in soils caused phos-
phate deficiency and consequent
crop failure. Others have found
that management practices
which traditionally included the
addition of large amounts of
barnyard manure were adequate
for great crop production, even
though the manure was known
to be low in phosphate. Various
organic materials other than
manure may serve as well as
a source of organic matter for
this purpose.
So life goes on because Iho
Important element, phosphorus,
is available in the soil—made
available by other life processes
in a self-perpetuating cycle of
interrelated chemical and bio-
logical reactions. So another
new, important function for or-
ganic matter is disclosed, to be
added to many other important
actions it has In maintaining
good soils.
