Phosphorus deficiency made worse by

  • Acidic or very alkaline (calcareaus) soils
  • Low organic matter
  • Cold or wet conditions
  • Crops with a poorly developed root system
  • Soils with low P reserves

  • Increases vigor in shorter season crops especially in adverse conditions
  • Improves marketable yield
