Drilled Versus Topdressed Superphosphate For Cereal Production, A Loutit, P. Stallwood, W. J. Cox
Drilled Versus Topdressed Superphosphate For Cereal Production, A Loutit, P. Stallwood, W. J. Cox
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
CEREAL growers in Australia usually use a drill or combine to apply their seed and superphosphate in one operation.
However, during the last few years, there has been a rapid increase in the amount of super broadcast bafore seeding.
Sources Of Nitrogen For Cereals : Their Characteristics And Costs, M G. Mason
Sources Of Nitrogen For Cereals : Their Characteristics And Costs, M G. Mason
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
Generally similar results may be expected from all the sources of nitrogen available for cereal growing.
The unit nitrogen price and the convenience of use of each fertiliser in the particular situation should be taken into account in deciding which fertiliser to use.
THE first point to consider when deciding which nitrogen fertiliser to use for wheat growing is the effectiveness of the nitrogen source in increasing crop yield. Second, the cost per unit of nitrogen must be considered.
The convenience of using a particular source in a particular situation is also important and greater convenience may offset some cost …
Nitrogenous Fertilisers For Cereal Production, M G. Mason
Nitrogenous Fertilisers For Cereal Production, M G. Mason
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
THE greatest responses to nitrogenous fertilisers can be expected in areas with a relatively long growing season.
In such areas light soils with a low nitrogen status provide the best prospects for addition of nitrogen—provided adequate moisture is available.
Rates Of Superphosphate For Cereal Grain Production In The Under 20 Inch Rainfall Areas, Walter Jacob Cox
Rates Of Superphosphate For Cereal Grain Production In The Under 20 Inch Rainfall Areas, Walter Jacob Cox
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
EVERY year farmers use large quantities of superphosphate with cereal crops to overcome the inherent phosphate deficiency of West Australian soils.
The increase in the average rate used by farmers reflects the increasing amount of new land being cropped.
Good seasons and favourable economic conditions may also have influenced super rates.
