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
