Nutrition in the West [1/4]: Yield response to P fertiliser

Published: March 23, 2023, 10 p.m.

Welcome to the first podcast in our new limited series focusing on Nutrition in the West. Each Friday for the next four weeks, we\u2019ll release an additional GRDC podcast covering nutrition topics specifically for Western Australia, as growers gear up for seeding 2023.\nThe knowledge used to guide phosphorus management in WA agriculture has its origins in field research from 20 to 60 years ago. This long term private-public partnership study, part of a large crop nutrition project, helps provide up-to-date guidelines by revealing the key influences of wheat response to P fertiliser in current cropping systems.\xa0\nWe caught up with Senior Research Scientist Craig Scanlon from WA\u2019s Department of Primary Industry and Regional Development about what\u2019s driving and influencing yield response to phosphorous fertiliser in current cropping systems \u2013 which importantly \u2013 now includes climate - in the equation.\xa0\n\nContact:\nCraig Scanlan, Senior Research Scientist \u2013 DPIRD\ncraig.scanlan@dpird.wa.gov.au\n\nMore\xa0Information:\nOptimising fertiliser application \u2013 what level of precision can we achieve?\n\nProject Code: UMU1801-006RTX\nLearn more about your ad choices.
