Phosphorus belongs to the primary macronutrient group. It is
an essential element to plant growth and is needed in large
amounts. Phosphorus exists in soil mainly as P. It is adsorbed
at the surfaces of iron and aluminum oxides or in association
with calcium. It also occurs in organic forms and may be
released by microbial activity. It is absorbed by roots only in its
maximum oxidation state as the orthophosphoric ion H

, depending on the pH. Moreover, its absorption is
mostly efficient for pH values between 5 and 7: this implies
that acidic or calcareous soil needs to be corrected to neutral pH
values for better tillage yield.
Note:
  
  
 mg/L is equivalent to ppm (parts per million).

• Obtain a Mehlich extract from the soil sample by
performing the Mehlich extraction.
• Using the syringe, add to each glass vial 0.75 mL of
sample.
Note:  To measure exactly 0.75 mL of sample with the
syringe, push the plunger completely into the syringe
and insert the tip into sample. Pull the plunger out
until the lower edge of the seal is on 0.0 mL mark of
the syringe. Insert the syringe into the vial and push
the sample out until the lower edge of the seal is on

the 0.75 mL mark (the longer mark between 0.7
and 0.8).
• Add to each glass vial demineralized water up to the
7.5 mL mark, replace caps and swirl to mix.
• Remove caps and insert one of the vials into the left
hand opening of the checker disc. This is the blank.
• Add to the other
glass vial 1 packet
of HI 93713-0 Re-
agent. Replace the
cap and shake vig-
orously for 20
seconds. This is the
reacted sample.
• Wait for 3 minutes.

• Remove the cap and insert
the reacted sample into the
right hand opening of the
checker disc.
• Hold the checker disc so
that a light source illumi-
nates the samples from the
back of the windows.
• Keep the checker disc at a distance of 30-40 cm (12-
16") to match the color. Rotate the disc while looking at
the color test windows and stop when you find the color
match. Read the value in the result window, multiply
by 3.3 and record it in mg/L (or ppm) of  Phosphorus.
For best results: Perform the reading three times and
take the average value (divide by 3 the sum of the
three numbers). Intensely colored samples will make
the color matching difficult and they should be
adequately treated before performing the test. Sus-
pended matter in large amounts should be removed
by prior filtration.
Caution: Ultraviolet radiation may cause fading of colors.
When not in use, keep the disc protected from light,
in a cool and dry place.
Interferences: iron above 5 ppm; copper above 10 ppm;
hydrogen sulfide, arsenate and highly buffered
samples.
