Phosphorus sources and application methods for Maize in Soil of the Cerrado region
01/Jun/2006
The efficient use of phosphate fertilizers in soils of the tropical region is still a challenge, mainly regarding long-term soil management. Based on the cumulative response of three successive maize cultivations, alternatives of phosphorus supply combining P sources and application methods were compared in a formerly fertilized Red Argisol. Treatments arranged in a 4 x 3 + 1 factorial scheme represented by four P sources (180 kg ha-1 P2O5) as triple superphosphate – TS, magnesium termophosphate – MT, Arad reactive rock phosphate – RP, and Araxá […]
