YOU KNOW WHAT YOU PAID FOR PHOSPHORUS.
But do you know how much actually made it into the plant?
James Paterson and Temple Rhodes join moderator Matt Thompson for a straight-talk session exposing the gap between what you apply and what your crop actually gets.
They break down:
• The real cost of P fixation
• Why “applied” doesn’t always mean “available”
• How chemistry solutions are changing the math
• What true efficiency looks like in the field
The answer might sting. The solution might surprise you.
If efficiency matters — this is a conversation you don’t want to miss!

A Phosphorus Problem: Why So Much App...
Most growers invest heavily in phosphorus, yet a large portion of what’s applied never gets into the plant. In this video, we break down the core issue: why so much applied phosphorus becomes chemically unavailable in the soil before the crop can use it. You’ll learn what happens to phosphorus af...

What Soil Tests Miss: What P Tests Te...
Soil test phosphorus (P) numbers tell only part of the story. This video breaks down what standard soil tests measure — and what they often miss — when it comes to phosphorus that crops can actually access and use. A soil test gives an index of plant-available P, but it doesn’t always reflect the...

Why Phosphorus Drives Yield: Energy, ...
Phosphorus is a primary driver of yield, but only if it’s available to the plant. This video explains how phosphorus fuels root growth, energy transfer, and overall crop performance—and why managing availability is critical to maximizing fertilizer efficiency and season-long results.
