Critical limit for phosphorus in a Red Latosol of the Brazilian Cerrado by Louise Stefanello Hemielevski, June Faria Scherrer Menezes, Augusto Matias de Oliveira, Mariana Pina da Silva Berti, Linia Dayana Lopes Machado, Paulo Fernandes Boldrin, Veridiana Cardozo Gonçalves Cantão, Rodrigo Gomes Silva

“…ABSTRACT Successive applications of phosphate fertilisers can exceed the phosphorus (P) requirements of plants and soil, resulting in surface accumulation and loss to aquatic systems, and therefore require monitoring. The aim of this study was to determine a mathematical model for the critical limit for phosphorus in the environment (CLPE) in a Red Latosol of the Cerrado, and to monitor the amount of P in the soil of 46 rural properties in the micro watershed of the Ribeirão Abóbora River. …”
