Key messages
Post emergent N applied to wheat did not give an economic return in this trial.
Consider trialling premium wheat seed treatments.
Seed treatment Veteran Plus (180 g/L imidacloprid + 6.25 g/L flutriafol) gave the best net return on investment ($32/ha) compared to the untreated control.
Baytan T ($27/ha) and Dividend + Emerge ($24/ha) seed treatments also gave respectable net returns.
