Impact of Cropping Sequence and Tillage System on Response to P Fertilization in Durum Wheat and Soybean
A study done to improve our ability to predict when P starter fertilizer is required by crops and identify management practices and fertilizer sources that may improve early season P availability to crops.

Objectives
- To determine if relative effectiveness of different P fertilizer sources and placements is influenced by tillage system and preceding crop.
- To evaluate the benefits of a new technology, coated MAP fertilizer, on calcareous prairie soils.
- To determine if starter P fertilizer is required for soybeans when grown in the cold soil conditions of Manitoba.
- To determine if mycorrhizal colonization in soybean and durum wheat is influenced by tillage management, preceding crop and P management.
- To determine if tillage system and preceding crop will affect the accumulation of both potential toxic and potential beneficial trace elements in durum wheat and soybean.
