Abstract: Boron release (desorption) is one of the important factors use in estimating fertilizers use efficiency and management of boron in agricultural soils and correlation soil properties with it availability to plant. Chemical kinetics for boron desorption experiment was carried out of boric acid (source for boron fertilizer) under controlled conditions in three calcareous soils (clay, loamy and sandy loam) from central Iraq at three temperatures (278, 298 and 308 Kelvin), by using six mathematical and empirical equations viz. Zero order, First order, Second order, Parabolic diffusion, Power function and Elovich equation were used to study kinetic behavior of boron in calcareous soils. Elovich equation was the best for predication and describing boron released with highest correlation r = 0.942 and t value (9.004), and lowest SE.e (0.530) where boron release rate constant (K) was positively correlated with temperature (r = 0.978). Released rate constant (K) was increased from 0.329 to 0.561 hrs-1 as increasing incubation temperature from 278 to 308 K. Soils texture effect in boron release activation energy (Ea) in three soils under study. The overall average of boron release activation energy of three soils was 15.284 and the highest was 20.923 in clay soil and the lowest amount was 4.596 in sandy loam while loamy soil gave 20.332 KJ mol-1.
