Concentrations and variations of total N, available P and K of cultivated soils in Zhejiang Province, China

Total N, available P and K of cultivated soils from 11 districts of Zhejiang Province were investigated. Statistical results showed that the average soil total N and available K decreased, and the average soil available P increased, as compared with those obtained at 1980s. The cultivated soil sampl...

description Total N, available P and K of cultivated soils from 11 districts of Zhejiang Province were investigated. Statistical results showed that the average soil total N and available K decreased, and the average soil available P increased, as compared with those obtained at 1980s. The cultivated soil samples with low levels of soil total N (&lt;1 g·kg<sup>-1</sup>), available P (&lt;10 mg·kg<sup>-1</sup>) and K (&lt;80 mg·kg<sup>-1</sup>) accounted for 13.90%, 44.80% and 48.17% of total soil samples, respectively. The proportion of soil samples with deficiency of one of N, P, and K was as high as 73.79%. There were imbalances among soil N, P and K. Great variations in concentrations of soil total N, available P and K were found. The variation coefficients of soil total N, available P and K decreased in the order of available P (192%)&gt; available K (71%) &gt; total N (39%). Soil total N was correlated positively with organic matter, and decreased in the order of clayey soil &gt; clay-loamy soil &gt; loamy soil &gt; sandy soil, and in the order of hydrographic net plain &gt; river plain &gt; hilly area &gt; coastal plain. Soil available P increased with decreasing pH, and decreased in the order of sandy soil &gt; loamy soil &gt; clay loamy soil, clayey soil, and in the order of high hilly area, coastal plain &gt; river plain, low hilly area &gt; hydrographic net plain. Soil available K was related to pH, texture, and geomorphic type, and decreased with decreasing pH. The available K decreased in the order of clayey soil &gt; clay loamy soil &gt; loamy soil &gt; sandy soil, and in the order of coastal plain &gt; hydrographic net plain &gt; river plain &gt; low hilly area &gt; high hilly area.
