Targeted nutrition at sowing

Published: 16 Feb 2010

Key points:

Economic optimisation of nutrients at sowing protects profits and the environment. 
* Every cropping situation has a unique set of circumstances that determines its response to fertiliser and therefore the return on money invested in nutrients. 
* Profitable input supply is achieved by using soil tests and plant analysis, interpreted for
appropriate target yields and with reference to fertiliser prices and grain values. 
* Information on nutrient removal rates, paddock history and longterm soil health can assist.
