The trick to managing phosphorus

Phosphorus is a key essential nutrient and must be available to your plants in order to impact yield. However, research shows that due to nutrient tie up less than 20 percent of the phosphate applied to fields is available to the plant.

Steve Carlsen, Levesol and Crop Enhancement Manager, from West Central Distribution, says the Phosphorus Project, a groundbreaking research project designed to measure how phosphorus efficiency products can improve nutrient uptake, is helping to solve the problem.
