To determine which soil tests and tissue tests could be used to increase the likelihood of profitable responses from the application of nitrogen to wheat.
These experiments provide a framework to allow growers in the Wimmera and Southern Mallee to use soil tests for nitrate N, organic carbon, and soil water to determine firstly, their yield potential, and secondly, whether there is a need for nitrogen fertiliser to achieve that potential.
