Our grazing ground always shows requirement of Phosphate correction almost constantly.
Any decent ground I’ve had will move with a bit of nitrogen alone
P can get marginal here at times. Can't stop it walking out the gate. An artic load of one of those burnt bonemeal products every few years is the current tactic. I like the idea of returning the minerals.

I’ve had my time putting AN and N on grazing ground found 25/5/5 a more reliable product even if we used less of it.
Without swelling Yara’s heads any more the Selinium has stopped 99% of the black quarter it only reappeared this year when it’s been to wet to get on some places

Unashamedly on decent ground and only use N. The one that niggles me is Sulphur. Muck is supposed to supply some but is it enough? Rotational gypsum, but unsure if much S will hang round for the 5 years between apps.
Year after my first 2t/acre application of gypsum I did a soil test, and it came back as low in sulphur.
It might have been a rogue result, but I don't think S hangs around for long.
