Abstract Phosphorus interactions with various management practices and inputs are complex and vary from physiological to inorganic in nature. Awareness of these interactions can have significant effects on decisions to apply P, can influence rates of applied P and should be seriously considered in decisions on method of P application. Recognizing that combinations of climatic and tillage system factors can influence short-term P availability may lead to the decision to apply fertilizer P even when soil P tests are high. Nutrient balance is one of the most important factors in P response. The interaction of N, P and K are of special significance, often determining whether responses to additions occur and the extent to which they are efficient and profitable. Phosphorus-micronutrient interactions can have significant effects on plant growth and yield but often are of more academic than practical interest for most crops. Soil testing and plant analysis to detect levels of micronutrient deficiency followed by applications of appropriate amounts of micronutrients can offset detrimental P-micronutrient interactions commonly reported for metals such as Zn, Fe and Cu.
