Phosphorus, Zinc, Iron, Manganese, and Copper Interactions in East-Idaho Potato Cropping Systems
Grant
Overview
abstract
Addition of large quantities of phosphorus fertilizer potentially decrease crop yield, farm profits, and water quality. The purpose of this study is to determine the impact of excess phosphorus on the availability of zinc, iron, manganese, and copper to potatoes, wheat, and maize and to develop management strategies to prevent and/or correct this malady.
