So I fell victim to the whole fert shortage this year and ended up seeding without phosphate.
Every year I soil sample I get the same recommended 20-25 pounds phos/acre. I broadcast 25 pounds an acre and put 25 pounds down with the drills. This year I put no phos down.
I'm not so sure if I'm just paranoid or what but my wheat doesn't seem like it's taking off so well, just trying to get a few opinions before I decide to throw more money at the crop or if I'm just kicking a dead horse.
I was tossing around the idea of broadcasting phos and trying to irrigate it in with the pivot (of course when I finish seeding they found some phos for me haha) but I don't think it would move the phos down to the root zone like it would with N correct?
