Our state soils extension specialist has said research shows that when soil P levels are very high, it has shown that soil P is more mobile than what we used to believe. And I believe that is what you are referring to. However, I would still say that K is more mobile than P. One thought crossed my mind as I read your post...... is it the fact that the P is mobile, or is it the fact that the P is attaching to particles, and is being moved in the process...... kinda like the process of erosion? We always say that the way to keep P in place is to no-till. More Soil P is lost through soil particle erosion than is lost thru movement down thru the soil..... at least that is the way I understand it. martin |
