Water soluble phosphates are the most often used phosphorus sources in fertilizers for ease of P release to the soil. However, in tropical soils, much of this P is adsorbed to soil particles and becomes unavailable to plants. Conversely, reactive phosphates may be slow initial releasers of the nutrient, but be released continually to the developing crops, reducing soil P fixation. The aim of this study was to investigate the application of two P sources to triticale and assess the […]
