Abstract

Humic and fulvic acids of five soils under rubber were separated and purified. The humic substances were found to have a wide range of elemental composition. Treatment of humic acid with Al or Fe resulted in higher absorption of P by the acid. However at higher levels of Al or Fe the level of P associated with humic acid was somewhat lower suggesting that P in the humic acid could be held by physical adsorption forces of the organo-metallic complexes. Sodium humate had a greater tendency to extract more P A1 and Fe from the soil than sodium fulvate. Treatment of oxidised soils with humic substances led to lower P-fixation by the soil. The data showed that humic substances played an important role in decreasing the phosphate-fixing capacity of the highly weathered Malaysian soils.
