Abstract: A model is developed relating economic phosphorus fertilizer application rates to soil phosphorus content and crop and phosphate prices. Optimum rates are relatively low for soils with moderate to high phosphorus content. For most Corn Belt soils, phosphate fertilizer demand is price elastic.
