Better Math Means Better Yields
Diammonium Phosphate
Diammonium phosphate (DAP) is the world’s most widely used phosphorus fertilizer. It’s made from two common constituents in the fertilizer industry, and its relatively high nutrient content and excellent physical properties make it a popular choice in farming and other industries.
New Study Offers Insight Into Phosphorus Availability
Australian researchers recently studied the reaction of both liquid and granular phosphorus (P) fertilizers in soil that was either dry or wet (at field capacity). They measured the movement of P from the application site as well as the amount of P that was in available and non-available forms.
Managing Phosphorus Soil Test Values
Soil testing is the farmer’s best tool for determining and managing phosphorus (P) levels in their fields. Testing can confirm increases in soil test phosphorus resulting from application of P and also document how much crop removal has decreased soil test phosphorus.
