Abstract
Phosphorus fertilization rates were reduced from 9-4.5 kg/ha per application of P2O5 in ponds on a wooded watershed without significant decline in sunfish production. Evaluation of the present and an earlier study suggests that 9 kg/ha per application of P2O5 be used for woodland ponds with heavy fishing pressure, while 4.5 kg/ha per application is suitable for woodland ponds subject to less fishing.This publication has 2 references indexed in Scilit:
