Monitoring and managing soil P changes to improve P use efficiency and sustain agricultural production remains a major issue. Soil P budget has been used to characterize soil test P (STP) dynamics/changes in Asia, Europe, North America, and South America. However, few studies have been conducted on soil P budget vs. STP under grassland production. To analyze the stability of the relationship between STP and cumulative P budget over a large range of STP values as a result of long-term applications of varying P fertilizer rates in several grassland experiments in Europe and Canada. In five out of the six grassland production systems, a deflection point was observed in the relationship between STP and cumulative P budget. Above the deflection point, the relationship was linear, while below the deflection point, the relationship was not significant.Read less <
