Abstract: Simulating phosphorus (P) uptake by crop roots is of great significance for crop fertilization management.In order to validate the applicability and effectiveness of nutrient uptake model for phosphorus (P) uptake by crop roots,a pot experiment in this study was carried out to obtain 15 model parameters associated with soil characteristics,root morphology,root physiology and water in maize and soybean.Aboveground P uptake of maize and soybean was simulated and validated by NST 3.0 soft.The results showed that P uptake of maize and soybean exhibited an increased trend,similar to exponential curve,with prolonged growth time.During the 45 d growth,the maize had a higher P uptake than soybean.A comparison between the simulated and measured P uptake revealed that the NST model could well simulate the P uptake by maize roots,but simulated P uptake was lower than measured value in soybean.Regression analysis showed that the simulated and measured values exhibited a significant regression relationship (P<0.05).Simulated P uptake explained 70.22% of measured P uptake,suggesting that simulated P uptake,to a large extent,can represent measured P uptake of two species.Overall,NST model can well simulated the P uptake of maize and soybeans.
