Soil Tests See No Change in Phosphate Recommendations
Provincial soils testing lab officials report no appreciable change in phosphate fertilizer guidance for this season. Farmers should order bulk phosphate formulations 11 48 0 or 23 23 0 to lock in lower prices. Summer fallow crops require at least 50 pounds per acre of 11 480 or 20 pounds of phosphate per acre. About 400 farmers will soon receive tailored recommendations despite delays caused by lab renovations and a backlog of nearly 4,000 samples since last fall.
