Abstract
The amount of labile phosphate released in two soils from incorporated sheep dung (of two phosphate levels) was determined in a pot experiment. The inorganic phosphate in dung was initially highly available but it diminished in value after a period of contact with soil. The organic fraction of the phosphate had only small availability. A further pot experiment where dung was applied to the surface of the two soils indicated that, although dung phosphate may be readily available, its value for grass depends on the extent of dung/root contact.
