To compare commercially available fertiliser on the performance of Schooner barley.
Key messages
On light soils, nitrogen is generally the most important nutrient in achieveing optimum cereal yields and maximising return.
It is important to maintain a balanced approach to crop nutrition.
In deficient sandy soils, nitrogen can be confidently applied to malting barley, particularly if applied early and to crops free of disease and weed competition.
