Dynamics of phosphate status in leached chernozem under long-term fertilization in a grain-fallow-row crop rotation in the forest-steppe of the Central Chernozemic Zone
The long-term application of mineral fertilizers and manure in a crop rotation with sugar beet promoted significant changes in the phosphate status of leached chernozem, including an increase in the contents of plant-available P 2O 5 and total phosphorus, and was favorable for the development of positive phosphorus balance in the soil.
