information sheet
Released/reviewed: Dec 2006

Key points discussed in this article include the following:

  • The effect of residual phosphorus was strongest where no new phosphorus was applied in the recovery year.
  • When phosphorus was applied in the recovery year, there were only small effects of residual phosphorus from the drought year.
  • Some reduction of phosphorus rates is possible in the recovery year.
  • Sowing time is the only opportunity to effectively apply phosphorus.
  • Maintain recommended rates of phosphorus in the second year after drought.
