P Fertilizers and Strategies to Improve Efficiency

Oral Session

S08 Nutrient Management & Soil & Plant Analysis

Phosphorus readily reacts with soil constituents to make it insoluble and unavailable to plants. Various fertilizers and strategies to maximize solubility and improve P use efficiency will be discussed.
