Are Differences in Formulations of Fertilizers for Use at Planting Important?

Fertilization at planting is carried out quite widely in British Columbia, Washington and Oregon, but the benefits are not precisely known. Examples of no response or adverse effects are not infrequent. In the few instances where they have been compared, fertilizers of different compositions and release rates show little difference other than that attributable to N content. Reasons to expect responses to P on some sites, and the need to apply sufficient P to obtain a response are discussed. Ways to improve fertilization at planting are examined.
