Super, potash and lime on pasture in Dandaragan locations
Aims

To determine responses to Super Phos, Potash and Lime in a pasture wheat rotation over 5 years.

Key messages
  • There were responses to Super Phos but these were difficult to assess due to uneven pasture growth, the presence of blue lupins and a high stubble load from 2009.
  • Pasture cuts on 17 June measured a 0.6 t/ha dry matter response to 200 kg/ha Super Phos.
  • There were no responses to Muriate of Potash (MoP) or lime. Late season responses were variable.
