Soil in Haryana shows potential to reduce phosphorus pollution levels.
The researchers studied how different soils in Haryana absorb and retain phosphorus. They found that the soils removed around 58 to 68.7% of added phosphorus from the solution. Soils with high pH and calcium carbonate content had lower phosphorus exchangeability. The ability of soils to retain phosphorus was linked to factors like surface area, clay, and iron oxide content.
