Soil Test P value between 50 PPM and 120 PPM (or "Moderate" P Loss Risk Assessment)
Soil test phosphorus (STP) is a good indicator for the potential risk of phosphorus movement at the edge-of-field into downstream waters. STP is a quick and widely available measure that can be used to identify field level P loss risk potential. Actual me ...
