Post by: pupuedd on Aug 30, 2020
Why is higher soil test P required for a given runoff P concentration in clay soils compared to sandy soils?

▸ P is adsorbed more strongly in sandy soils.

▸ P is held less tightly in the sand compared to the clay soil.

▸ P is held less tightly in the clay compared to the sandy soil.

▸ P leaching occurs more in clay soils through macropore flow.
