Fertiliser strategies for Mallee soils

1996

Research organisation
Birchip Cropping Group

Trial details

Researcher(s) Marcus Brown (VIDA)
Year(s) 1996
Contributor Birchip Cropping Group
Trial location(s) Walpeup, VIC
Fertiliser strategies for Mallee soils locations
Aims
  • To identify which nutrient are limiting.
  • To determine appropriate rates of fertiliser to apply, specifically phosphate.
  • To measure the production potential of a range of crops which may be appropriate for Mallee soils.
Key messages

Grain yield increased by approximately 1.0t/ha as fertiliser increased from nil to the higher rates.
