Soils used for production of flooded rice in the state of Rio Grande do Sul are originated from different parent materials, resulting in different characteristics that affect P availability for the crop. The aim of this paper was to verify the differences in P availability for rice in soils originated from different parent materials. The experiment was carried out in a complete randomized block design, where five soils were exposed to absence or presence of triple superphosphate. In the soils derived from sandstone and granite sediment a faster Fe reduction and release of adsorbed P was observed than in soils originated from basalt. The amount of accumulated P in rice was higher in the Planosol than the Vertisol and Mollisol, with and without triple superphosphate application. Triple superphosphate fertilization resulted in greater amounts of P accumulated in all soils.
