“…In some studies, the low response of soybean to phosphorus fertilization in soils with adequate levels or high availability of phosphorus (P) has been documented (Lacerda, Resende, Furtini Neto, Hickmann, & Conceição, 2015). Thus, in these situations, flexibility in the management of phosphate fertilization could be considered (Lacerda et al, 2015;Nunes, Sousa, Goedert, & Vivaldi, 2011;Pavinato & Ceretta, 2004;Prochnow et al, 2017;Resende et al, 2006;Santos et al, 2012;Sousa, Nunes, Rein, & Santos Júnior, 2016), and the application can be made only to replace the quantities of the nutrient exported by the crops.…”
