Abstract

Phosphorus (P) adsorption, in soils is a key cycle overseeing its accessibility for crops, characteristics were determined in four soils in Wolaita of Southern Ethiopia. 3 g of soil was equilibrated in 30 mL of 0.01 M CaCl2 containing KH2PO4 in 0, 5, 10, 15 and 20 mg P/L. Kinetic models, like Langmuir, Freundlich, Temkin and Van Hauy were applied on four soils; kinetic parameters (b, Kf, a and m) showed values 0.36-1.53, 147.91- 851.13, 2.29-3.48, 0.11-0.16 mg/kg for selected soils. In soils 1, 3 and 4 Van Hauy model demonstrated predominance over different models, while in soils 2 and 3 Freundlich model demonstrated better results. Notwithstanding, in soil 2 both Freundlich and Temkin models showed results within standard. Langmuir models was found better in soil 4 (r2=0.92) followed by soil 2 (r2=0.88) aside from b and EPRF (r2=1.000** and 0.96**). The EPR (0.2 mg/L) was altogether related to kinetic model (r2=1.00***) that supports the way energy coefficient of soil is a significant file for arranging phosphorous the board techniques. Among the four soils, to keep up ideal phosphorous fixation in soil for crop development, Wolaita soil need more phosphorous manure.
