Comparative phosphorus requirement of canola and wheat

Abstract: The yield response of canola (also known as rape, Brassica napus) and wheat (Triticum aestivum) to applications of phosphorus (P) as single superphosphate was measured in three field experiments in south-western Australia. The P was banded with the seed while sowing at 4 cm depth. The P requirements of the species was determined from the amount of P required to produce 90% of the maximum yield. Canola consistently required less P than wheat, from 50 to 55% less P for dried tops, and 30 to 58% less P for seed. … Show more

“…Lupin required about 10% more P than wheat to produce 90% of its maximum grain yield. The results reported here comparing the P requirements of canola and wheat support the results of an earlier study (18). However, this study appears to be the first to compare the comparative P requirement of wheat, canola and lupin as measured in the same experiment in the same year.…”

“…The critical P, which is the concentration of P in shoots that was related to 90% of the maximum shoot yield, for canola and wheat in this study are similar to the critical P values for these 2 species determined for grain by Bolland (18). In addition, this study quantified the relationship between the P concentration in shoots measured in September and grain yield measured later on in the year (prognostic critical P).…”

“…Our results also show that the PRE of canola (43%) was more than double that for wheat (17%) in the first crop after P application. This indicates the greater ability of canola to take up fertilizer P than wheat, as shown in this study (Table 3) and in others (Bolland, 1997;Bolland, 2001, 2009;Föhse et al, 1991). Canola has an efficient root-hair system and can exude carboxylates to acidify the rhizosphere (Pearse et al, 2006;Richardson et al, 2011), thereby enhancing its ability to take up available P. In addition, the increases in phosphatase activity and the abundance and diversity of P-solubilizing soil microbes in the rhizosphere of the preceding canola crop may have improved the P supply for the successive wheat crop, leading to consistently high wheat yields in the second and third crop phases in the clay loam (Solaiman et al, 2007).…”

“…These soils are typically deficient in phosphorus (P) and N (Moore, 1998). Profitable production of both wheat, and canola depend on adequate application levels of both P (Bolland, 1997;Bolland et al, 1999) and N (Mason, 1994).…”
