Interpretive Summary

The Effect of Tillage System and Preceding Crop on Phosphorus Response of Flax, 2002 Flax is a major oilseed crop grown on the western Canadian prairies, with the majority of the production exported into the industrial oil market. Phosphorus (P) fertilization of flax is a challenge, as the crop is very sensitive to seed-placed starter P.

The Effect of Tillage System and Preceding Crop on Phosphorus Response of Flax, 2001 Flax is a major oilseed crop grown on the western Canadian prairies, with the majority of the production exported into the industrial oil market. Phosphorus (P) fertilization of flax is a challenge, as the crop is very sensitive to seed-placed starter P. Banding fertilizer P, either below or below and to the side of the seed row, is the preferred method of application with flax.

The Effect of Tillage System and Preceding Crop on Phosphorus Response of Flax, 2000 Flax is a major oilseed crop grown on the western Canadian prairies, with the majority of the production exported into the industrial oil market. Phosphorus fertilization is a challenge as the crop is very sensitive to seed-placed starter P. Banding fertilizer P, either below or below and to the side of the seed row, is the preferred method of application.
