To quanitfy these grain yield increases achievable in wheat and canola in the central west of NSW through varying P rate experiments.
This years findings mirror those of last year. The trials demonstrated that current P application rates may be suboptimal, and significant grain yield gains may be achieved by applying greater amounts of P.
