A preliminary comparison of the ammonium acetate‐edta soil phosphorus extraction method to the bray‐1 and olsen soil phosphorus extraction methods
1994
Abstract The ammonium acetate (NH4OAc)‐EDTA soil phosphorus (P) extraction method was compared to either the Bray‐1 soil P extraction method for non‐calcareous soils or the Olsen soil P extraction method for calcareous soils to predict com and wheat plant tissue P concentration and grain yield responses. The NH4OAc‐EDTA method predicted yield and tissue P concentration responses to P fertilizer applications more accurately than the Olsen method at three of five sites. Both the Bray‐1 and NH4OAc‐EDTA methods were successful in predicting corn and wheat yield responses to P fertilizer applications in non‐ calcareous soils in many locations. However, a direct comparison of extracted soil P levels showed that the NH4OAc‐EDTA method extracted soil P at levels which were more closely related to the Bray‐1 method than the Olsen method.
