Got P? Importance of preventing phosphorus deficiency

Did you know 90% of our soils are phosphorus responsive?  

In a typical rotation, the removal rate of phosphorus exceeds the application amount, and we continue to deplete the phosphorus level within our soils.  

Phosphorus is a key component of every crop fertility plan since it:

• Stimulates early season growth
• Helps the crop grow deeper and stronger roots
• Hastens plant maturity and promotes seed production
• Functions as one of the main promoters of photosynthesis, nutrient transport and energy transfer via energy-rich linkages (ATP).

An innovative practice to address the depletion of phosphorus is to complement your soil-applied phosphorus with a foliar application.
