The effects of trace elements on annuello wheat production locations
Aims

To assess the effects of trace elements on anuello wheat production.

Key messages
  • Tissue test plants before applying trace elements to know what is and isn’t needed by the plant.
  • Boron is an unknown entity.
  • When the pH is low, molybdenum remains at inadequate levels even after ‘in crop’ applications
  • Lime when pHCaCl2 <4.8.
  • It would be good to repeat the trial on a limed paddock.
