Soils vary in available phosphate across fields on a farm
Soil samples from different fields show 25 to 50 pounds per acre of available phosphate for plant growth. A fall or spring grain planting plan uses test results, where a field with 50 pounds per acre of phosphate and 1 percent organic matter informs fertilizer needs, noting grains like wheat, barley, and oats generally require no more than 45 pounds per acre.
Soil Organic Matter and Nitrogen Use in Grain Fertilizer
