Project Description


This study should 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. It should also provide evidence on the comparative efficiency of a range of P sources, as affected by preceding crop management. In addition, it should provide information on the impact of management on trace element accumulation, both in terms of potentially toxic elements such as Cd and potentially beneficial elements such as Zn, Fe and Cu.
