Crop production using replacement P locations
Aims
  • To assess the crop production and economic outcomes from applying P at nil, replacement, 10 kg P/ha (district practice, DP) and 20 kg P/ha (double district practice, DDP) rates on 2 soil types at Minnipa.
Key messages

Over 3 years of crop production (2009-2011) applying replacement phosphorus (P) rates have been the most economic.
