To conduct zinc nutrition trials.
In previous years, trials and demonstrations have highlighted zinc deficiencies in both cereals and pulses, which could provide farmers substantial profits over the cost of zinc. Six trial sites were chosen, all with adequate zinc histories, to demonstrate advantages of supplying extra zinc to wheat crops. As there were no significant yield responses to the various applications of zinc, it was concluded if adequate zinc enriched granular fertiliser had been regularly applied in previous years there was no benefit from the application of additional zinc.
