Extract

In the official methods of soil analysis followed in this country, the available phosphate is determined by Dyer's (1) method. This consists in determining the amount of phosphoric acid, which becomes soluble, when 200 gm. of soil are shaken continuously for 24 hours with 2 litres of water, containing 20 gm. of citric acid. The result is expressed as a percentage of the weight of soil. It is usual to infer lack of available phosphate if less than 0·01 per cent. P2O5 becomes soluble under these conditions. Hall (2) has suggested the necessity for a revision of this limit.
