Phosphorus mass balances for successive crops of fertilised rainfed rice on a sandy lowland soil
2005
Overview
Raising and sustaining rice yields in the rainfed lowlands requires an understanding of nutrient inputs and outputs. On sandy lowland rice soils, managing phosphorus (P) supply is a key factor in achieving increased yields and sustainable production. Phosphorus inputs, rice yields, and crop P uptake were used to quantify P requirements of rice: together with results on soil P fractions, P balance sheets were constructed over five consecutive cropping seasons on a sandy Plinthustalf near Phnom Penh, Cambodia. Grain yields ranged from 665 to 1557 kg ha(-1) with no added P. Average yields increased significantly with P fertiliser application over five consecutive crops by 117, 139 and 140% when the phosphate fertiliser was applied at 8.25, 16.5 and 33 kg P ha(-1), respectively. Without added P fertiliser, a net loss of 1.2 kg P ha(-1) per crop was estimated with straw return and 2.0 kg P ha(-1) per crop with straw removed from the field, whereas, with added P fertiliser, there was a net P gain in the soil of 5.6 or 9.5 kg ha(-1) per crop when straw was removed and returned to the soil, respectively. After one crop, the addition of P fertiliser significantly (P < 0.01) increased recovery in all soil P fractions. Across five successive crops, repeated application of 16.5 and 33 kg P ha(-1) rates resulted in progressive P accumulation in the soil, especially a labile NaOH-Po pool, but had no effect on yields and P uptake of rice. By contrast, 8.25 kg P ha(-1) per rice crop was generally adequate for grain yields of 2.5-3.0 t ha(-1) and to maintain soil P pools.
