Oats Respond to Drilled Phosphate in Tests
Iowa State agronomists found drilled phosphate at 40 pounds per acre boosted oat yields as effectively as 80 pounds broadcast and disked in. Second-year alfalfa yields varied by soil type, with drilled phosphate helping on a southern Iowa acidic, low-phosphorus soil, while broadcast-disked application did better on calcareous western soil.
