Response of maize to phosphorus fertilization on hydromorphic soil of Bosnian Posavina area.
INTRODUCTION Acid reaction and nutritional unbalances, mainly low level of plant available phosphorus (P) as well as unfavorable physical properties are limiting factor of soil fertility in Bosnia (Okiljevic et al., 1997; Resulovic and Custovic, 2002). It is estimated that about 25% of agricultural land of Bosnia and Herzegovina are pseudogley or similar soils (Markovic and Supic, 2003). P as a limiting factor of the field crop yield under conditions of the northwern Bosnia was object of survey article Markovic et al. (2006). Liming and increased fertilization (mainly with P) are usually recommendations for these soils improvement (Kovacevic et al., 2004, Petosic et al., 2003, Komljenovic et al., 2006, 2008). Aim of this study was testing maize response to ameliorative P fertilization on acid hydromorphic soil in Bosnian Posavina (Sava river valley) area.
