Is disease suppression stimulated by increased dry matter input? Minnipa locations
Aims

To see if disease suppression can be stimulated by increasing organic matter (i.e. carbon) inputs into farming systems under local conditions.

Key messages
  • The fluid fertiliser system increased yield and dry matter production at both sites.
  • The added carbon treatments with increased microbial activity have not increased grain yield in 2011.
