Changes in P fractions using Hedley's sequential fractionation of organic and inorganic soil P, were studied in soils covering a wide range of developmental stages and original materials. A greenhouse experiment was performed in order to make an exhaustive P uptake by Lolium perenne and to study soil phosphorus mobilization from different fractions. Samples were obtained at 30, 60 and 90 days from sowing, with two fertilization rates added as KH 2 PO 4 . The exhaustion produced by plants resulted in different patterns of mobilization according to soil characteristics. For control soils the contents of inorganic labile fraction (LIP) decreased at the end of the experience in Mollisol (31%), Vertisol (24%) and Andisol (17%). The mobilization of organic P was greater for Ultisol and Andisol (77 and 75% respectively) than for the other soils. Fertilization affected mainly inorganic P, with a significant increase in contents of LIP in Entisol (46%) and moderately resistant inorganic P (MRIP) in Andisol (15%). Inorganic P/organic P relationship tended to increase during the experiment, while labile P/moderately resistant P increased in Entisol and Mollisol.
