Wheat trace element experiment locations
Aims

To test a number of trace eelements and mistures of trace elements for responses in wheat

Key messages

There was no response to any trace elements or mixtures of trace elements, except zinc. Sinc responses may occur in red oils particularly ifa Chlorsulphuron herbicide, like logran is used. Ainc produced significantly more tillers but not a yield response.
