Fig. 1. Relationships between soil P extracted by five soil test extractants and relative yield as calculated based on the broadcast treatment. Triangle symbols are statistically significant at the P > F 0.10 level; circle symbols are not significant. Vertical lines indicate current soil test P critical levels for individual states.

Fig. 2. Relationships between soil P extracted by five soil test extractants and relative plant height at 35 d after planting as calculated based on the broadcast treatment. Triangle symbols are statistically significant at the P > F 0.05 level; circle symbols are not significant. Vertical lines indicate current soil test P critical levels for individual states.
