I guess I was thinking the P "bound " with soil metals in cases that not enough Calcium Carbonate wasn't in water??Didn't know if the "P" was cumulative once proper alkalinity/ph was reached.I'm sitting at 10 lbs of 10-52-4 per acre cumulative dose since April 17th where poor alkalinity was most likely the culprit per test strips
My soil ph was 6.5 during pond build and I added 1 ton/acre per Miss State to pond bottom pre fill up.....(I now know that is too low) I had added 6 pounds/pond acre of 10-52-4 April 17 th and got no bloom......6 weeks later added 2 tons/acre of AG Lime to water from bank.My ph is reading 6.8 (Alkalinity 25ish) reading on swimming pool strips
I added 4 more lbs /acre of 10-52-4 and sample results from TAMU should be due back this week.
I have no FA showing at this time and my Secchi has held at about 32-34" since April
No water flowing in/out BOW 11 acres going to 13
