“…These results agree with those of Corrêa et al (2008) in maize crops and Chagas et al (2015) in two lettuce crops, who observed a reduction in phosphorus use efficiency with dosage increases. However, Chagas et al (2015) found increased phosphate efficiency with polymer-coated MAP fertilizer in both lettuce crops, improving residual phosphorus used, but not for onions (Chagas et al, 2016). However, increased nutrient availability and the source used are not the only factors that can alter the efficiency rate.…”

The objective of this study was to evaluate the initial growth of maize plants and phosphorus use efficiency due to phosphate fertilization with or without polymer coating for controlled nutrient release. The experiment was conducted in a greenhouse. Ten treatments were accomplished under a 5 x 2 factorial scheme, with five doses of phosphorus and two types of monoammonium phosphate (MAP), with and without polymer coating. The experimental design consisted of three maize plants grown in a 5 liter plastic pot. The study was conducted for 30 days when the phosphorus content, dry matter production and nutrient use efficiency were measured in the plant. The data obtained were submitted to analysis of variance by the F-test at 5% probability, the quantitative data were submitted to regression analysis according to the doses, and the qualitative data according to the source by the Tukey test. The plants fertilized with conventional MAP had averages higher than the ones fertilized with polymer-coated MAP at 50, 150 and 200 mg doses of P dm -3 soil. The initial growth of maize plants was higher when they were fertilized with conventional MAP. The efficiency in P use did not increase with the polymer-coated source, but decreased with doses of both sources

“…A similar strategy could be applied with additives of iron and aluminum affinity (responsible for the fixation of phosphorus in the soil) in P fertilizers, increasing its agronomic efficiency. Reis Jr and Silva (2012), Chagas et al (2015), Chagas et al (2016) carried out studies on P fertilizer coated with anionic polymers (Policote) that reduce the activity of iron and aluminum to evaluate the efficiency of P fertilization. The need to increase the efficiency of P fertilization and the lack of information about enhanced efficiency P fertilizer justifies studies to evaluate the performance of this kind of fertilizers.…”

Soybeans and maize are the most cultivated crops in tropical soils and require large amounts of phosphate fertilizers. The use of enhanced-efficiency fertilizers is a promising technology to minimize losses of P by fixation in highly weathered tropical soils. The objectives of this study were to evaluate morphological characteristics, soybean P and boron foliar content, yield and agronomic efficiency of P fertilizer in response to P rates and sources in maize and soybean crops. Two P fertilization experiments with the sources Mono-ammonium Phosphate (MAP) and Policote coated MAP were carried out, one in maize (0, 20, 40, 80, 120 and 160 kg P2O5 ha-1) and another in soybean crop (0, 20, 40, 80 and 120 kg P2O5 ha-1). The morphological characteristics, soybean P and boron foliar content, yield and agronomic P fertilizer efficiency were evaluated. The results showed that maize and soybean morphological characteristics, as well as soybean foliar P and boron contents were not influenced by fertilization. P fertilization increased soybean yield. Policote coated MAP was more efficient than MAP (conventional fertilizer) to produce higher maize and soybean yields and higher agronomic efficiency of P use. For higher productivity, we recommend the dose of 102.9 kg P2O5 ha-1 of Policote coated MAP for soybean and 97.6 kg P2O5 ha-1 for maize.

“…The coating of phosphate fertilizers with anionic polymers with affinity for cations such as aluminum and iron may attenuate the adverse effects of soil P precipitation and increase the efficiency of phosphate fertilization (Chagas et al, 2015;2016a;2016b). Adding both Mg and anionic polymers to the coating may result in increased P uptake and coffee plant growth compared with other phosphate fertilizer technologies, such as resincoated fertilizers, which decrease the rate of P released from the fertilizer granule to the soil (Huett;Gogel, 2000;Du;Zhou, 2006;Broschat;Moore, 2007;Sanders et al, 2012;Adams;Frantz;Bugbee, 2013).…”

The coating of phosphate fertilizer granules with polymers and magnesium (Mg) is a technology that can improve phosphorus (P) use efficiency and mitigate problems of low Mg supply in coffee crops. The objective of this work was to evaluate the growth and nutrition characteristics of coffee seedlings and the agronomic efficiency (AE) of monoammonium phosphate (MAP) coated with anionic polymers and Mg in comparison with other phosphate fertilizer technologies. The experiment was carried out in a greenhouse in 20 L pots. Two five-month-old coffee seedlings were transplanted into each pot. The experimental design was completely randomized with three replicates. The following treatments, applied at a dose corresponding to 20 g pot -1 of P 2 O 5 , were carried out: MAP; MAP coated with anionic polymers (Policote Phós ® ); MAP coated with anionic polymers+Mg (Policote Phós_Mg ® ); Top-Phós ® ; and Agrocote ® . A control (without P) was prepared. Plant height; leaf area; dry mass of leaves, stems, and roots; total dry mass; shoot/root ratio; specific leaf weight; P and Mg content in plants and their availability in the soil after cultivation and efficiency indicesof the phosphate fertilization treatment were evaluated. The recovery of applied P and the agronomic efficiency of phosphate fertilizers was found to increase in the following order: MAP = Top-Phós ® = Agrocote ®
