ABSTRACT
      A study was carried out on contribution of iron phosphate to phosphorus nutrition of rice plant under waterlogged and moist conditions, respectively, by use of synthetic Fe32PO4·nH2O, tagging directly the iron phophate in calcareous paddy soils. Results showed that under waterlogged condition, similar to iron phosphate in acidic paddy soils, that in calcareous paddy soils was an important source of phosphorus to rice plant, and the amount of phosphorus originated from it generally constituted 30-65% of the total phosphorus absorbed by rice plant.
Key Words:  calcareous soil, iron phosphate, phosphorus nutrition, rice
