UF Video Offers Tips on Extra Phosphorus for Flowering

Paul Fisher from the University of Florida IFAS Extension has created a new YouTube video on “Five Tips on Extra Phosphorus for Flowering (and Other Myths).” You can access the video at https://youtu.be/KqEqBeZOjPQ.

In the video, Fisher discusses research on how much phosphorus is really needed for crops such as transplants, flowers, blueberries and cannabis. Many growers and landscapers over-apply phosphorus leading to wasted fertilizer cost and potential runoff into the environment.
