The other thing we find with blends is our spinner is good at separating them out, heavy stuff granules like MOP going further out than TSP prills. Anyway nearly finished for this year.
Just use fibrophos. ...

Lets see a picture of your drilling rig..?Five miles off the centre of Canada. Manitoba. It’s a roller coaster for weather here but when Mother Nature is in a good mood it’s a fantastic place to farm. Flatter than you can imagine and not a hill for an hours drive in any direction. Jet black heavy clay that’s super sticky.
We hedged our bets and put on half of the second dose on Monday while the ground was damp from Sunday’s rain.Was told not to bother putting the second dose on the sp barley.

I'm going more toward nearly all or all the fert on post drilling now for spring crops as the springs were getting are too dry.I'm sure I started a thread on here last year, but can't find it, nor remember the replies.......
Spring barley. Half the fert went in the seedbed. What to do about the rest, given no rain forecast for the rest of the month.
Slap it all on anyway.
Little and often,
Wait for proper rain, even if it doesn't arrive till mid May ?
We have had soils in no till for a while now, did some tests recently that included legeacy/available phosphate. The longer term no till soils are starting to release the decent amounts of locked up P.
throwing around stuff like tsp is pissing money down the road. Locked up within days. You need the biology to be working to release it.
yes could be thatI wonder if its not that the P gets "released" as such or more that the cycling of the existing P via root hairs, bugs etc remains efficient as compared to when we cultivate away all those situation - ie the act of getting P into the plant fundamentally needs a biologically active conduit.
That said if my soil test tells me I need P I will put it on whether it is artificial, muck or fibrophos because I'm still exporting some P in my farming system. I know it may be old fashioned but I still value basic soil indices to give me my building blocks
Last bit of laureate for us going in after swedes and some grass. View attachment 957952
That front tank would drive my OCD into overdrive ....
