Summary

Response of wheat to fertilizer-P on soils low and medium in available P increased with increasing doses up to 26 kg P/ha; responses were proportionately greater on medium-P soils. Application of 39 kg P/ha increased the response slightly on low-P but decreased it drastically on medium-P soils. The relatively small response on low-P soils may be due to fixation of fertilizer-P. The results indicate that the maximum response to fertilizer-P may be obtained only when P fixing capacity of the soil is satisfied so that sufficient P for the crop remains in the soil solution. The results of this investigation suggest that fertilizer should be applied on the basis of soil test data of individual fields instead of following regional recommendations.
