Subject: A rule of thumb for phosphate.



Little River, TX
If you know how much free lime your soil has, the rule of thumb is add 10 lbs of phosphate for each percentage of free lime.

Deep banding is a viable option to slow the change to a calcium phosphate.

There is also a polymer to protect phosphate from being joined to a cation.

From what my row crop neighbors tell me, much depends on the variety choice. They are of the opinion most corn varieties are designed for the Corn Belt and we here are hard put to get a well adapted corn variety.
