Response by red wheat to P and S in fertiliser locations
Aims
  • To compare the effectiveness of sulphate of ammonia, gypsum and elemental sulphur as sources of sulphur for red wheat and canola. 
  • To measure response to phosphorus in fertiliser at a range of rates in red wheat.
Key messages
  • It was not surprising that no response to sulphur was obtained, when we consider that the KCI sulphur level in the soil rose from 5-7 mg/kg before bed forming to 16 mg/kg after bed forming. 
  • For further discussion please see the attached trial report.
