I was surprised to see my results. I wonder why the P is so high. Any comments?  |

When I bought my property the 1st couple soil test reports came back with high P also. At the time when I asked, if I recall correctly is that it takes time for a plant to take in and use P. Some crops use very little P The other thing is a lot of people just use 19-19-19 when they fertilize even though they don't need P which then gives a high P on soil test. I just made sure that there was no Phosphorous in the fertilizer that I put down for a couple years and then the soil test came back with normal readings.

The past few years I haven't tested and just use trip 19. Looks like just N this year for the fall planting. |

Maybe the guy's cat stepped on the keyboard and stood there a while. 37 ppm doesn't seem like off the page excessive to me.
