Summary
Advancements in iron fertiliser formulations have delivered significant yield gains on calcareous soil types in the South East of South Australia and this provides an opportunity to investigate the degree of iron deficiency in other regions where these soil types are prevalent such as the Mid North and Yorke Peninsula.
