Fertiliser rate x fertiliser placement, LRZ Wagga Wagga, NSW locations
Aims
  • To investigate the effects of fertiliser rates and its placement on the germination & establishment of deci and kabuli type chickpeas.
  • To measure the grain yield responses to fertiliser rates.
Key messages
  • Both desi and kabuli chickpea varieties suffered severe plant establishment reductions from fertiliser placement with the seed and with increasing fertiliser rates.
  • Fertiliser rates of 20 kg P/ha and above placed with the seed had a significant negative effect on grain yields.
  • The dry spring conditions have compressed achieved yields to that possible from the limited water supply. Differences in plant population still negatively influenced achieved yields. Yields increased with fertiliser rate up to about 20kg/ha of P in this particular season.
