Investigating ways to boost profits from more efficient nutrient use in WA cropping systems
b'DPIRD researchers, led by Dr Craig Scanlan, have been investigating nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) and potassium (K) crop use efficiency, soil storage and yield responses. \\n\\nThe current body of evidence used to support N, P, and K decisions is inadequate across a range of situations and this uncertainty has led to some lack of grower confidence in fertiliser recommendations. \\n\\nThese decision gaps exist in N, P and K fertiliser management because of climate and systems changes that have occurred after most crop nutrition knowledge was first documented in WA. \\n\\nGRDC project codes: DAW1801-001TRX & UWA1801-002RTX \\n\\nFurther information: \\nDr Craig Scanlan \\n0427 160 376 \\nemail: craig.scanlan@dpird.wa.gov.au \\n\\nhttps://groundcover.grdc.com.au/story/5975994/improved-potassium-access-bolsters-grain-yields/ https://groundcover.grdc.com.au/story/6293818/nutrient-research-guides-fertiliser-decisions/ https://www.agric.wa.gov.au/climate-land-water/soils/managing-soils\\nLearn more about your ad choices.
