To evaluate different nitrogen (N) rates and application timings and phosphorous (P) rates.
• SARDI funded and managed wheat nutrition trials to evaluate different N and P treatments.
• A nitrogen response was observed at Keith.
• No grain yield differences were observed at Frances with different N or P treatments.
• Grain at both sites achieved a higher grade with the highest N application.
• Protein was the limiting factor for grain achieving maximum grade.
