Seed row Tolerance of 16-20-0-13 and 12-40-0-6.5S-1Zn in Western Canada

IPNI-2015-CAN-SK46

The majority of phosphorus (P)-based fertilizers are either applied directly in the seed furrow (seed row) or side banded close to the seed row, for the growing of small grain cereals, canola, and lentils in the Western Prairie provinces of Canada. A research study assessing the effect of low and elevated application rates of 16-20-0-13S (sulfur) and 12-40-0-6. Read more

The majority of P-based fertilizers are either applied directly in the seed furrow (seed row) or side-banded close to the seed row, for the growing of small grain cereals and canola, in the Western Prairie provinces of Canada. Farmers using ammonium phosphate-sulfate (16-20-0-13S) fertilizer have reported that they can safely apply greater rates of phosphate in the form of 16-20-0-13S in the seed row, compared to regular monoammonium phosphate (11-52-0).
