Popis: The objectives were to determine if phosphorus (P) from different organic wastes differs in availability to crops. Four materials: digested, dewatered sewage sludge (DSS); irradiated sewage sludge (DISS); irradiated and composted sewage sludge (DICSS); and composted livestock manure (CLM) were applied for two years at five rates (0, 10, 20, 30, 40 Mg#lbha‐1#lbyr‐1) with four replicates. Uptake of P was measured in lettuce [Lactuca saliva L. (cv. Grand Rapids)], bean [Phaseolus vulgaris L. (cv. Tender Green)], and petunia [Petunia hybrida Vilm. (cv. Superior Red)] in 1990, and in consecutively harvested two cuts of lettuce in 1991. Percentage of total P that was extractable by 0.5M sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3) in CLM (30–70%) was much higher than in DSS, DISS, and DICSS (0.8–5.6%). Phosphorus uptake by crops harvested in an early stage of growth, lettuce in 1990 and first cut lettuce in 1991, and the extractable soil P linearly increased with total P applied. The lack of response in P uptake with b...
