MLSN and phosphorus saturation index

February 18, 2021

How much Mehlich 3 (M3) phosphorus (P) is required for healthy turfgrass growth on soils containing high iron (Fe) and/or high aluminum (Al)? This topic has been discussed in associated Updates on "The Phosphorus Saturation Index Revisited" and "Phosphorus saturation index and P deficiency," but the equation needed to compute the required MLSN PSI phosphorus ppm level using M3 extraction was not provided. Based upon the same methodology used to establish MLSN guidelines for other nutrients the MLSN PSI guideline…
