CONCLUSION:

  • Both Phosphorus (P) and Nitrogen (N) combined significantly to improve wheat yield.
  • Treatments responses were consistent with Summit trials over many years in the area.
  • A P recommendation of 12-18 kg/ha and N recommendation of 30-60 kg/ha optimised yield and grower returns.
