Can phosphorus be applied as top dressing or it should be only a basal application?
It is always advisable to apply phosphate fertilizers as basal application i.e. at sowing or planting. This is for the reasons that phosphorus requirement is high during the early growth period and most of the phosphorus is taken up by plants in early stages of growth. The primary advantage of early application is that it promotes early root growth, which in turn leads to better exploitation of soil nutrients.
