Interference in soil phosphorus analyses by snail shells


Play all audios:

for readily soluble phosphorus were sometimes obtained by routine analytical procedures2, grazing and botanical observations indicated extreme phosphorus deficiency. Such observations were


verified by herbage analyses, where figures of the order of 0.10–0.11 per cent of the dry matter were obtained. Access through your institution Buy or subscribe This is a preview of
