Increasing economic returns of agronomic management using precision agriculture locations
Aims

To report on investigations on increasing economic returns of agronomic management using
precision agriculture.

Key messages

The main agronomic issues to be assessed in 2012 are:

  • Targeting of seeding and post seeding nitrogen applications in line with identified changes in soil water characteristics ie changes in the ‘bucket’
  • Assessment of gypsum applications over soil zones identified as having variations in sodicity levels. A trial has already been implemented which will allow economic assessment for several years.
  • Sound agronomic and economic phosphorus fertiliser management in line with changes in productive capacity of soil zones and responsiveness of soil types to phosphorus applications.
