Abstract
•Phosphorus (P) mobility in a tropical Brazilian soil.•Total Reflection X-Ray Fluorescence was applied to determine the concentration of P.•Fertilizers used monoammonium phosphate and polymer coated monoammonium phosphate.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the phosphorus (P) mobility in a tropical Brazilian soil type red Oxisol treated with three different forms of granular fertilizer. Total Reflection X-Ray Fluorescence (TXRF) was applied to determine the concentration of P at different distances from granular fertilizer application point. The results showed that most of the P from fertilizers tends to concentrate in a region of up to 10 mm around the place of the fertilizer deposition.
