Aims

To investigate the effect of various combinations of nitrogen, phosphorus fertiliser on grain yield.

Key messages
  • In 1999, provided we can avoid the problems experience in 1998 with the late sowing and harvesting, Pivot will be looking to contribute to development of the Decision Support System for nitrogen in high rainfall cropping, as proposed by the recent Southern Farming System research forum.
