Irrigated Corn Response To Long-Term Nitrogen And Phosphorus Fertilization, A. Schlegel, D. Bond
Irrigated Corn Response To Long-Term Nitrogen And Phosphorus Fertilization, A. Schlegel, D. Bond
Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
Long-term research shows that phosphorus (P) and nitrogen (N) fertilizer must be applied to optimize production of irrigated corn in western Kansas. In 2020, N applied alone increased yields by 85 bu/a, whereas P applied alone increased yields 10 bu/a. Nitrogen and P applied together increased yields up to 136 bu/a which is 11 bu/a less than the 10-year average of 147 bu/a. The application of 120 lb N/a (with highest P rate) produced 98% of maximum yield in 2020, which is greater than the 10-year average (2011–2020). The application of 80 instead of 40 lb P2O5 …
