A range of fluid products together with granular Mono-ammonium phosphate (10N:22P:0K:)+Ammonium nitrate (34N:0P:0K) were used in field experiments to provide 12 kg P ha-1 and 15 kg N ha-1 in 1998 on a highly calcareous grey sandy loam and a calcareous red brown sandy loam. Fluid sources of P had large impacts on early growth, P uptake and grain yield at both sites. The best fluid fertilizer on the highly calcareous grey soil produced 2.5 times more dry matter than the granular MAP+AN plots.
