Fertilizer use and application methods for phosphorus and nitrogen
The notes advise increased phosphorus fertilization to 30 45 kg ha and compare forms by efficiency. Anhydrous ammonia yields the best recovery, followed by ammonium nitrate ammonium sulfate urea and liquid nitrogen. Banding soil placement outperforms broadcasting and surface application, with seed placement and side banding most efficient.
