Abstract
Abstract Cabbage (Brassica olearacea var. capitata L.) yield differences from added P were highly significant up to the predicted response level of 0.4 mg 1 . The increases in yield were basically due to larger head sizes. No statistical differences were found after the soil P levels were adjusted above 0.4 ppm, as determined by P isotherms constructed from initial soil samples. Slight differences occurred between years, but likely were due to cultivar growth differences. Data show that the isotherm predicted level fits rather closely the P requirements for cabbage as related to crop yields. Since extraction methods measure only the intensity factor of P, these methods could lead to incorrect P fertilization recommendations. The absorption of P is progressively reduced as the temperature goes down.
