Table 1.

Soil phosphorus determined by the resin method (P-res) and by the remainder method (P-rem) at depths of 0.0–0.2 m and 0.2–0.4 m, leaf phosphorus at four months (P-4) and at eight months (P-8) after sprouting, and acid phosphatase activity (APase) and juice phosphorus (P-juice) of sugarcane grown in Eutrophic Red Ultisol, as a function of phosphate fertilization with source, application rate, and filter cake.
