The Use Of Nitrogenous Fertilisers For Cereal Grain Production In Western Australia, William John Toms, G. H. Burvill

NITROGENOUS fertilisers have so far been little used in Western Australia for wheat, oats and barley grown for grain.
However, profitable results can follow their use under some conditions. Farmers who have seen field experiments are now interested in the use of nitrogenous fertilisers.Further interest will be stimulated by recent reductions in price.
This article answers common questions asked by farmers about nitrogenous fertilisers for cereals. It is based on over 100 experiments conducted by the Department of Agriculture during the past 30 years.

THE use of bulk superphosphate broadcast direct on to the paddocks is a new method of reducing fertiliser costs.
But it has long been known that broadcasting phosphate is less efficient than drilling it in with the seed.
The experiment reported here was designed to demonstrate this point.
