Our study evaluates a granular fertilizer in field and greenhouse tests with corn (Zea mays L.), wheat (Tritcum aestivum L. em. Thell.), and soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merrill]. Tests evaluated P source and rate effects on soil test P (Mehlich-3), and crop P uptake. Grain yield was evaluated in field tests only. The granular fertilizer was prepared in a prior project from animal waste ash supplemented with ammonium and phosphoric acid during granulation to produce a 4.6% N, 27.9% P2O5, 3.6% K2O, and 1.3% S fertilizer (AWP). Of the available P, 70% was water soluble in the AWP, compared with 78% in triple superphosphate (0-46-0, TSP). Long-term field sites with P gradients at the Peanut Belt (Aquic Paleudults), Piedmont (Rhodic Kanhapludults), and Tidewater Research Stations (Typic Umbraquults), and a field with a low soil test P level at the Mountain Horticultural Crops Research and
