In this article we will discuss about the estimation of phosphorus and potassium for analysing soil. Estimation of Available Phosphorus: i. Olson’s Method: Principle: Available phosphorus is extracted from soil with N/2 sodium bicarbonate with pH adjusted to 8.5. By adding molybdate and stannous chloride solution a blue colour develops and this is read on […]
