Abstract
Soybean is an important grain crop for Brazil, and phosphorus (P) plays an important role in improving yield of this crop in Brazilian Oxisols. Data are limited on influence of P sources and rate on soybean yield, yield components, and P-use efficiency. A field experiment was conducted for 3 consecutive years to determine response of soybean to three fertilizers (single superphosphate, Yoorin, and Arad) with 0, 17.5, 35, and 52.5 kg P ha−1 (0, 40, 80 and 120 kg P2O5 ha−1). Grain yield was significantly influenced by phosphorus fertilization. Overall, maximum grain yield was produced by application of single superphosphate, followed by Yoorin and Arad. Number of grains per pod and 100-grain weights were also influenced significantly by P fertilization. Shoot dry weight, number of pods per plant, and grain harvest index had a significant positive association with grain yield. Phosphorus uptake in grain was about six times more than uptake in shoots, and P uptake in grain had a significant positive association with grain yield. Phosphorus-use efficiency (kg grain/kg P applied or uptake) decreased with increasing P rate, and it was greater for single superphosphate than for Yoorin and Arad sources of P fertilization. However, P-utilization efficiency (kg grain plus straw yield / P uptake in grain plus straw) was greater under Yoorin treatment compared to the two other sources of P.
