What improvements in my grass am i going to see by getting P levels up?
Much better response to nitrogen and faster regrowth after cutting/grazing.
Sort your pH first if necessary.

The college have recommended 375kg/ha of tsp or 500kg/ha of scotphos for the low fields. Im confused, doesnt that give a different amounts of P? @Brisel @neilo
Tsp is £353/t. Scotphos 0.29.5.0 is £208/t +£11/ha spreading.
Its around 90ha i want to do. Can you guys tell which is the best value? Ive got myself in a right mess with my maths
500kg/ha of 0 29.5 0 or 375kg/ha of 0 46 0. I just get in a mess with metric and imperial but if i use units/ac, 3cwt of tsp gives 138 units. 4cwt of scotphos gives 118 units.Are they allowing for varying availability between the products?
I know little about either product.

Is that any use for grassland? I probably wont be able to get it on untill spring time. Then there will be animals everywhere.Just get two artic loads of P-grow, bang it on the area at the whatever rate that works out at and test again next year.
It’s the best value P by a long way. Not the cheapest per tonne, but good value. It’ll spread 12m no bother and work in the soil quickly. TSP won’t do any good until about the next lunar eclipse.

Just a quick update. Put on 400kg/ha of powder phosphate (0.29.0) at the end of march, i dont think it spread all that well, it was extremely fine powder and dry.
Should i just test again next year to see if it has made any difference? Should i see any yield response this year?

Yeah you can i think but its all sewn up pretty much. Farms near the towns.Can you get combi cake up your way?
Its basically dried sewage, its really high in P. Pretty sure Sinclairs from ellon were spreading and distributing it. Get soil tested for free too.
@Brisel i have re tested a few fields again, just out of interest to what the P levels have done. Basically nothing has changed with what i applied last year. Some results have even gone down.
Should i have seen a difference? Have i sampled at the wrong time of year?
I have ordered a load of fibrophos this year.
It takes a long time to raise indices
