Sum16-21 N x K on canola

AIM:

To investigate the response of canola to potassium (K) and nitrogen (N) rates.
Yield and grain quality can be limited if either of these macro nutrients is in short supply.

Fig 2: Yield response to N & K

CONCLUSIONS:

  • Bonito canola showed significant responses to both N and K at this site.
  • Supplying 60 kg/ha of N and 25kg/ha of K was the best strategy for optimising returns under these conditions.
