Trial details

Researcher(s) Owen Boland

Aims

To report on testing, monitoring and calculations that are designed to make decisions which minimise
risk and maximise returns.

Key messages

Urea is not a magic white powder. Other yield limiting factors must be addressed before the full benefit can be obtained from nitrogen. The amount of nitrogen applied must be balanced with the moisture availability and yield potential. The balancing act is more difficult when trying to achieve prime hard protein levels.
