The effect of phosphorus fertilizer application and the time of harvest on production risk of cassava in southeast Queensland

Cassava gave small positive response to increased P on each of 3 soils, with no effect on the variability of yield. Banding as against broadcasting fertilizer reduced yield on one soil, variability on another, and had no effect on the third. Delaying the harvest gave yield increases on 2 soils, but...

Summary:Cassava gave small positive response to increased P on each of 3 soils, with no effect on the variability of yield. Banding as against broadcasting fertilizer reduced yield on one soil, variability on another, and had no effect on the third. Delaying the harvest gave yield increases on 2 soils, but had no effect on variability.
