Aims
This project is gathering data from these trial sites to ascertain whether a one-off application of either P, K or sulfur (S) that is placed in these deeper, more depleted layers can provide a grain yield benefit and whether that benefit can be maintained over several years.
Key messages
1. Chickpea yields increased by over 900 kg/ha on deep banded phosphorus (P) applied at 40 kg P /ha; representing a 300 % increase over the zero P treatments.
2. Chickpea yields were not responsive to deep applied potassium bands.
