TI - Applying phosphorus through drip irrigation systems JF - California Agriculture JO - Calif Agr Y1 - 1976/05/01 VL - 30 IS - 5 SP - 8 EP - 10 PB - University of California Agriculture and Nature Resources SN - 0008-0845 UR - http://www.ucanr.edu/sites/calagjournal/archive/?article=ca.v030n05p8 AB - The disadvantages of clogging drip lines and assumed lack of movement have prevented the application of orthophosphate through drip irrigation systems. Orthosphosphoric acid can be applied without these disadvantages when extreme care is used. Organic phosphates such as glycerophosphate will move farther in soils, are easily applied through the drip system without clogging, and P is readily used by plants.
