Broadcasting Best Method for Phosphate Topdressing Meadows

Iowa State College agronomist John Pesek reports three Iowa field trials comparing topdressing phosphate on established meadows. Broadcast application yielded slightly higher plant phosphorus uptake and better meadow yields than drill placement, with fine calcium metaphosphate granules more effective than larger ones. Both 40-mesh metaphosphate and concentrated superphosphate work on a phosphorus-equivalent basis, especially on phosphorus-deficient soils.
