Article: New findings in soil science described from Laval University.(Report)

"Can. J. Soil Sci. 89: 145-155. In this paper we present the soil test P saturation, budget, and fractionation procedures used in R. R. Simard's laboratory," researchers in Canada report.

"We expand that work to: (1) Mehlich-III P saturation index using a weighting factor for Fe accumulation in soils; (2) P budget including below-ground biomass; and (3) compositional data analysis of P fractions to describe changing patterns of soil P fractions that differ in their availability to plants and risk to the environment. The Mehlich III P and Al two-way classification applied to forage crops by Simard and co-workers was replaced by the P/Al ratio test for P fertilizer ...
