The objective of this work was to study the growth response of sunn hemp (Crotalaria juncea L.) to different phosphate fertilizers, in three locations. Six field experiments were carried out in the Experimental Stations of the Agricultural Institute of the State of São Paulo, Brazil, located in Tatuí, Ribeirão Preto and Campinas, during two following years, 1971/72 and 1972/73. The soils in those locations corresponded to a Dusky Red Latosol. The treatments consisted of the following phosphate fertilizers: simple superphosphate, triple superphosphate, phosphate of Araxá, thermophosphate, steamed bone meal and Yoorin. Nitrogen and potassium fertilizers were also supplied in normal rates. Two checks were used, one without any fertilization and another with nitrogen and potassium fertilizers only. The experimental design consisted of randomized complete blocks with five replications. The results obtained showed higher green matter and seed yields, by the plants grown with steamed bone meal, in several experiments in all three locations. However, in the analysis of variance these differences were not statistically significant.
