Synopsis In soils low in available phosphorus, maximum yields of wheat can be produced by applying soluble phosphate in the row at planting. Evaluation of the efficiency of such applications through the use of the modified Mitscherlich yield equation indicates that it is a much more efficient method than broadcasting soluble phosphate. There was no composition response in the grain for drilled phosphate.
