The response to additional N at planting time can be seen comparing treatment 4 with treatment 1: an increase of 2,214 kg/ha just by changing the placement, not the total amount of N. Another interesting effect was the better response for more N at planting row with soluble P than with Gafsa or Yoorin (thermophosphate).
