This trial aims to compare the relative yields of different nutrition approaches on broad beans and the impact of crop nutrition prior to the onset of flowering. In high organic matter soils with a pH range from 7.5-7.8 in CaCl2, this trial focuses on interplay of additional phosphorus (P) early in the season and foliar iron (Fe) application in the spring.
