Abstract Results obtained using a simple model for computing the residual effect of applied fertilizer P were compared with results of long‐term field trials with maize ( Zea mays L.), sorghum Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench, and rice ( Oryza sativa L.), carried out in Brazil, Australia, and Madagascar, respectively. The calculated and experimentally found residual effects of fertilizer P were in close agreement, provided the applications rates were not too high and seasonal effects not too strong. At all locations the same values for the time constants of P transfer between the labile and stable pools could be used, irrespective of the method of application and the type of fertilizer. As a consequence, the residual effect of fertilizer P is directly related to the first‐year recovery fraction. For given recovery fractions, the residual effects are calculated for different types of P fertilizers.
