Assess how top-up applications of nitrogen as test strips across the paddock zones influence yield and protein of Scepter, Mace and Ninja Wheat
The test strips provided knowledge on how in-crop applications of nitrogen influenced yield and grain protein and potential allocations of crop inputs across the paddock.
Within a paddock, allocating resources to production zone will influence economic returns.
Paddock selection and rotation influenced grain protein of Scepter and Mace wheat. If faced with a season like last year growers might choose not to apply more N to wheat after lupins but wheat on canola might need more to get the protein window.
