Use of crop sensors for determining N application during stem elongation in wheat locations
Aims

To determine if crop sensors can be used during stem elongation to determine N content of the plant and the need for applied N.

Key messages

With a soil nitrogen content of 153kg N/ha at sowing, Derrimut wheat yielded just less than 6 t/ha with no N fertiliser.
