The study looked at different types of soil in Central India to see how much phosphorus was present. They found that Vertisols had the highest pH levels, followed by Alfisols and then Inceptisols. The organic carbon content varied between the soil types, with Vertisols having the highest CEC value. Available N, P, and K levels were low to medium in the soils. The distribution of phosphorus fractions differed between the soil types, with Vertisols and Inceptisols showing one pattern and Alfisols showing another. Overall, the study found that the phosphorus content varied between the soil types, with Vertisols having high Ca-P levels, while Alfisols had high Fe-P and Al-P levels.
