To evaluate if there is any difference in deriving management zones from soil or production spatial information and in what situations each of these layers may be useful to help maximise grower investment in PA technologies.
Key messages
Yield and biomass can be used to assess variation and identify soil sampling points (more than five may be needed).
However, the cause of yield variation can vary within production zones so zones may differ depending on management input targeted.
Ground truthing is essential including grower knowledge.
