Trial details

Researcher(s) Brad Davis (CWFS)
Year(s) 2009
Contributor Central West Farming Systems
Trial location(s) Eubalong, NSW
Twin N product trial locations
Aims

To compare a standard practice of an upfront MAP fertiliser only, to this same rate of MAP plus a Twin N foliar application.

Key messages
  • N demand by crops in last year’s trials results was low due to the very dry finish to the season.
  • There was no benefit from applying Twin N to wheat in this season.
