Abstract: In this paper,researches on abundance-deficiency index(ADI) of soil available P for wheat (SAPFW) and appropriate phosphorus fertilizer application rate(APFAR) conducted in China were systematically summarized. The results showed that the ADI of SAPFW in China had improved obviously in 30 years. There were considerable differences in their ADI of SAPFW in different regions,and the ADI of soil Olsen-P for wheat for 90% relative yield(RY) of the complete nutrients treatment except phosphorus (TCNTEP) changed from <15 to > 35 mg/kg. Except the Huang-huai-hai plain, the Guanzhong irrigation area and the Hetao irrigation area, researches on ADI of SAPFW in China had many blank regions. Soil phosphorus deficiency for wheat in China were common,and the abundance-deficiency levels of SAPFW focused on level 2～4,and most RYs of TCNTEP were between 70%～100%. For research on ADI of soil nutrient,the number of trial sites should not be too little,and using extrapolating data for the high-end and low-end of ADI should be careful and indicated. APFAR and the abundance-deficiency level of SAPFW were linear negative correlation. APFAR and the yield goal of wheat were linear positive correlation. APFAR and the phosphorus fertilizer use efficiency in current season (PFUEICS) were linear negative correlation. When the PFUEICS was 20% and the target yield was 3～12 t/hm2,the APFAR for the SAPFW abundance-deficiency level 1-7 from high to low were 0～0,17～66,33～132,50～198,66～264,83～330 and 99～396 kg/hm2,respectively.
