2003 KARA Funded Research Projects:

Investigators:

Phosphorus Study (John Schmidt)
Objectives:

Evaluate the implications of managing soil test phosphorus (STP) with the goal of achieving the greatest return given a specific time horizon for land tenure
Evaluate grain yield response to increased STP and / or increased fertilizer P for a specific level of STP
Evaluate the change in STP as a result of different amounts of P fertilizer and depending on the initial level of STP
