This study focused on the effect of organomineral fertilizers on phosphorus availability and
uptake by plants in calcareous soils. With this aim, an incubation test and a pot experiment were carried out
to see the effect of phosphorus in the organomineral fertilizer prepared by mixing the mineral fertilizer
source phosphorus with the organic fertilizer from the biogas plant on the availability of phosphorus in soil
and on the nutrition of the wheat plant. In both experiments, increasing rates of organomineral fertilizerphosphorus were applied, and they were compared with the triple superphosphate. The soils were sampled
twice in the incubation experiment. In the pot experiment, two samples were taken in the tillering and
maturation periods. Within the tillering period, the whole plant was sampled, and two separate samples,
namely stover and grain, were taken at maturity. The results of the incubation experiment showed that the
contents of Olsen-phosphorus in the soils treated with organomineral fertilizer-phosphorus were higher than
those with mineral fertilizer-phosphorus. In line with this, both the phosphorus concentration in the shoots
and the phosphorus uptake per pot were higher in the plants treated with the organomineral fertilizerphosphorus in the tillering period. A similar trend was observed for phosphorus content in grains and total
phosphorus uptake at maturity.
