Field Pea Responses to Phosphorus Fertilization
In the Prairie Provinces of western Canada, field peas are an important part of crop rotations in many areas. The crop takes up and removes large quantities of phosphorus (P) in production and harvest. Recent studies in Alberta and Saskatchewan have evaluated crop response to P fertilizer addition. Balanced nutrient availability will ensure efficient use of soil water and growing season precipitation by field pea crops. Soil testing is the first step in managing soil and fertilizer nutrients for optimum yields.
