Values are concentration in mg kg−1 (percentage of extract P). Residue is the residual soil after Mehlich III extraction. Total inorganic P is the sum of orthophosphate, pyrophosphate and polyphosphate. Difference is the difference in between the NaOH-EDTA extracts of whole soils and the NaOH-EDTA extracts of the residue after Mehlich III extraction
