High input trial locations
Aims

To continue an economic evaluation of high input versus district practice for 2000.

Key messages
  • Similar to the previous 4 years, the district practice treatment has given better performance than the high input treatment.
  • This to a degree reflects the relatively fertile site and the fact that the seasons have finished quickly in November.
  • On the data gathered so far, it is not economic to increase inputs, particularly fertiliser, beyond what is regarded as good district practice.
