Summary
The anion exchange resin technique was applied to ten highly calcareous soils of the North-Western coast of Egypt. The resin used was Merck's Anion Exchanger III.
Characterization of both phosphorus capacity and rate of phosphorus release was possible through the use of this technique. Moreover, the method allowed identification of the native forms of soil phosphorus responsible for supplying the plants with the element.
The data showed highly significant correlation between phosphorus extracted by resin at each of the equilibration periods employed and phosphorus uptake by barley plants. The shortest equilibration period of one hour was suggested for use to determine available phosphorus in the highly calcareous soils tested in this experiment.
