Abstract

Conclusions

• We believe our phosphorus levels are at a point that we will no longer include it in our fertilization program except where it can be put in row with a cash crop to aid early establishment.
• We still need to be adding nitrogen in spite of increased availability because microbiologic activity eats up a lot of N in residue break down. You have to feed the bugs.
