| APP Fluid Surpasses Granular In Australian Grain Trials Dr. R. Holloway, B. Frischke, D. Brace, Dr. M. McLaughlin, and Dr. E. Lombi Mean grain yield was 5 percent higher on residual fluid APP plots than on granular TSP plots. (PDF, 3 pages, 356 KB) |
| Fluids Reduce Costs Versus Dry In Drill-Seeded Rice Production Drs. Fred Turner and Mike Jund Banding of fluid fertilizer and early flood improved mid-season N content of plants receiving all fertilizer at planting. (PDF, 3 pages, 229 KB) |
| Starter Applications of APP Show Positive Response in Sugarbeet Trials Drs. Bryan Hopkins and Jason Ellsworth Surface banding APP (10-34-0) did not show increased sugar percent or yield; at one site it significantly reduced sugar yield. (PDF, 3 pages, 300 KB) |
