Phosphorus response curve for peas and the effect of starter nitrogen locations
Aims
  • To develop a phosphorus response curve for Peas (cv. Kaspa) in the high rainfall zone of South West Victoria.
  • Investigate responses to zinc and starter nitrogen in last sown legume crops.
  • To investigate if MAP is a cost effective phosphorus fertiliser for legumes and its impact on plant growth.
Key messages

The apparent better performance of MAP T3 is noted but when looking at the other MAP based products they don't follow the same trend. There was no significant response to applied phosphorus, sulphur or zinc. The CV of the trial is quite high, meaning that a 0.48 Tonnes/ha yield response was needed for anything to be significant. There was no negative effect of applying starter nitrogen in this trial, however there was no positive effect. At current pricing the MAP based products are a very cost effective source of phosphorus and sulphur regardless of the starter nitrogen. Tissue tests indicated all nutrients were adequate see Table 99.
