Wheat variety response to P on grey calcareous soil locations
Aims

To explore the variation of PUE among varieties of wheat across a range of seasons in order to provide farmers with better knowledge of their current varieties.

Key messages
  • Axe, Wyalkatchem and Gladius appear to be the wheat varieties that use added P efficiently.
  • Scout is able to maintain yield when no P is added.
