Mineral composition and responses to fertilizer of wheat grown on a limed and deep-ripped soil in north-eastern Victoria locations
Aims

To establish the nutrient requirements of wheat following liming and deep ripping.

Key messages
  • Molybdenum fertiliser increased wheat grain yield in 2 of 5 years and grain weight in 3 of 5 years, indicating a deficiency of molybdenum in the soil.
  • Manganese concentration in wheat grain was high but was greatly reduced following liming.
