Study Finds Raw Rock Phosphate Can Match High priced Acid
Prof. George Roberts reports 4 to 6 year results from Kentucky experiments on wheat fertility. Untreated land yields 8 bushels per acre, while 200 pounds of 16 per cent acid phosphate adds 4 1/2 bushels. Limed plots gain 9 bushels with the same phosphate, and raw rock phosphate in 1000 to 2000 pound broadcast applications sometimes matches acid phosphate. He suggests lime enhances acid phosphate effectiveness and 150 pounds of phosphate or equivalent suffices for a good stand with two tons of lime per acre.

It says Central Bluegrass benefits from nitrate of soda or ammonium sulphate as spring top dressing, while phosphates yield little there.
