The effect of broadcast struvite fertilization on element soil content and microbial activity changes in winter wheat cultivation in southwest Poland.

ABSTRACT: This study aimed to evaluate the potential of struvite as a phosphorus fertilizer in winter wheat cultivation in southwest Poland. The field experiment was conducted at Wroclaw University of Environmental and Life Sciences in Swojec in 2022/2023. The studied factors were two cultivars of winter wheat (Activus and Chevignon) and two phosphorus fertilization methods (traditional superphosphate and struvite). Aditionally, the study attempted to develop a reasonable phosphorus testing method to analyze phosphorus content in soil. Three phosphorus extraction methods were used to determine P, Mg and K content where Mehlich 3 and Yanai seem to be most appropriate. The following traits in the study were estimated: grain yield, content of P, Mg and K in the grain, as well as soil microbial activity
