%X The response of crops to added P is generally less  predictable on Vertisols than on other soils such as  Alfisols under similar agroclimatic conditions. The  cause of low P responses to applied P in Vertisols  is not known but is often attributed to sorption of  phosphate (Murthy 1988). However, recent work  on the behaviour of P in Indian Vertisols indicate  that the Vertisols
