A better understanding of soil moisture, root disease and factors which influence nutrient availability and the efficacy of fertilisers are needed to increase the water limited yield potential of the highly calcareous soils. Field trials were conducted in 2019 to investigate these factors on the nutrition of wheat on highly calcareous soils.
