Canola is highly responsive to applications of phosphorus (P) and sulphur (S) fertilizer, yet the rate that can be applied with the seed is limited by crop safety. Different rates and sources of seed-placed phosphorus (P) and sulphur (S) were evaluated at six research sites across Canada. Applications were evaluated for seedling damage, nutrient uptake and yield.
