One of Our Biggest Success Stories as a Result of Research
Improving phosphorus recommendations helps sustainability outcomes and grower profitability
Dr. Andrew Margenot, Assistant Professor of Soil Science at University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, recently concluded a checkoff funded project on the 4Rs of phosphorus for soybean systems. Margenot studied best practices around the timing, placement, source, and rate of phosphorus applications in the Central-North vs Southern Illinois, where soil and climate conditions vary significantly. While many growers utilize ammonium phosphates, such as MAP or DAP, as their P source, this study found that P sources that contain N are often not needed for soybean and could contribute to N nutrient loss issues. This study provided recommendations to growers that can help improve Illinois water quality, while also improving nutrient use efficiency.
