Canola Phosphorus Source Trial

Research Question: What is the influence of Phosphorus (P) fertilizer sources on crop P availability, seed safety and yield for canola production across Manitoba soils.

Treatments

Each farm chose whichever P sources were of interest to them to include in this trial.

  1. P Source 1 = Standard Rate
  2. P Source 1 = High Rate
  3. P Source 2 = Standard Rate
  4. P Source 2 = High Rate

Includes one replicated untreated control (no P) plot to characterize P responsiveness of field.

Trial Setup: Randomized complete block, each treatment was one equipment width x field length, with four replicates per location (12 strips per location)

Data Collection: Plant Counts, Emergence, P Tissue, Biomass (Rosette), Yield

Note: Due to challenges in handling and supply of P sources not all trial locations were able to test the exact same total P205 rates for the two fertilizer sources.
