Abstract

This lysimeter study investigates the dynamics of phosphorus leaching across a spectrum of soil textures, encompassing loam, sandy, sandy loam, clay, and sandy clay. Employing a controlled experimental design, we analyzed the leaching behavior of phosphorus in these distinct soil types under controlled environmental conditions. The study aimed to discern the impact of soil texture on phosphorus mobility, with a focus on understanding the potential implications for nutrient transport and environmental sustainability. Results revealed notable variations in phosphorus leaching patterns among the different soil textures, shedding light on the complex interplay between soil composition and nutrient transport. These findings contribute valuable insights to the field of soil science, facilitating a more comprehensive understanding of phosphorus dynamics in diverse soil environments and informing sustainable agricultural practices.
